t:inputCalendar doubt

[Joshua Antony]

I have a t:inputCalendar as shown below:

<t:inputCalendar id="DateOfBirth" tabindex="2" maxlength="10" accesskey="d" value="#{searchBean.personCriteria.birthDate}"
renderAsPopup="true"              
popupWeekString="Week"
popupTodayString="The date today is :"
renderPopupButtonAsImage="true"
converter="OmegaDateConvertor" 
forceId="true" styleClass="inputBox" size="15" style="margin-right:4px;"/> 

Is there any way by which I can get the string that is entered in the comoponent in the bean?

For ex: if the user selects 04/01/1984 can I get 04/01/1984 as string?

Regards,
Joshua

Howzit Joshua,

You can get 04/01/1984 as a java.util.date. The use SimpleDateFormat to get the date as a String...

Hi Darryl,

The problem is that user can enter 04/01/1984 or 04/01/84 . If I use simple date format like dd/MM/yyyy then I will get 04/01/1984 irrespective of which two he has entered.

I have used Convertor and fixed the issue.
