> i'am trying to put a required validator for my date entering field.. My field has a f:convertDateTime to make conversion between String <-> java.util.Date. it's like;
> <h:inputtext ...>
>   <f:convertDateTime dateStyle="short" />
>   <s:commonsvalidator type="required" arg="..." client="true" server="true" />
> </h:inputtext> 
> When i entered a valid value into my date field it throws a ConverterException as below;
> "javax.faces.ConverterException: You have requested a conversion for type java.util.Date, but there is no by-type converter registered for this type."
> the problem is; CommonsValidator always looks for by-type converters.. so, it needs a converter for the java.util.Date class.. But in JSF, one can add custom converter for each component separately... in this case, even if i had a converter for java.util.Date class, it won't be used by JSF RI! 
> Because, user assigned a custom converter for that field!! JSF will use it instead of looking for a by-type converter... so, commons should use it too... otherwise, JSF RI and CommonsValidator behaving differently as my issue!
> In conclusion; when we look at JSF RI code, we see that; it first looks for custom component converter, then, if can not find, searches for a by-type converter... CommonsValidator must work same i think... 
> i have injected my solution into my CommonsValidator class and it works perfect... above suggestion should be implemented in original CommonsValidator releases as soon as possible i think...
>  
> i can provide code if required...
> there is a conversation about this issue at :
