birthday dropdown with month/leap year variances

[Steve Swinsburg <s....@lancaster.ac.uk>]

Hi all,

I am creating a set of dropdown choices for a user to enter their  
birthday on a profile. One for day of the month, one for month of the  
year, and one for year. However I want to be able to take into account  
months that have differing numbers of days, (ie some 30, some 31, some  
28, every now and the 29 etc) which is all dependent on the month and  
if its a leap year or not.

Does anyone have a component/fragment of code that handles this  
already to save reinventing the wheel?



cheers,
Steve

A simple way would be to use
http://wicketstuff.org/wicket13/dates/
with the settings used on
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/calendar/calnavigator.html

Maybe you can just rely on Calendars, which provides 
Calendar#getMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)

It is not really reinventing the wheel, just using the available api and 
combine
