inputCalendar problem (required field)

[José de Jesus Vargas Ibañez <jv...@rmmi.com>]

Hi:

I'm new to all this JSF and myFaces stuff. Currently I'm developing a 
system using the myFaces framework. I saw that there is a calendar, i've 
test it for a prototype and it worked fine. Now that I'm developing the 
real application I got a problem. The field is required so I've marked 
it as required=true

<x:inputCalendar id="openingDate" required="true" renderAsPopup="true" 
value="#{auction.openingDate}" popupDateFormat="MM/dd/yyyy" />

When I press the commandButton it delivers this exception:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Expected submitted value of type Date for component : {Component-Path : [Class: javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot,ViewId: /sse/CreateAuction.jsp][Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlForm,Id: _id2][Class: org.apache.myfaces.custom.calendar.HtmlInputCalendar,Id: openingDate]}
