Coverting issue from type of java.util.Calendar to integer value

[Sam Saha]

I have a Input text field which I am mapping to an element of type java.util.Calendar. But I wanted to display value as a number. I am new in JSF and don't know to convert the Calendar value to a number value. I would appreciate if someone can help me to convert this successfully. Thank you very much.

Here is my code:
JSP Code:

   									<h:inputText styleClass="inputText billingToggle" id="billingWithdrawalDate" 
											value="#{application.documentDetails.billingWithdrawalDate}">				
									</h:inputText>	 

Code from Bean:

      public java.util.Calendar getBillingWithdrawalDate() {
        return billingWithdrawalDate;
    }

Hi,

I am not sure of you exact requirement, but if its possible to use Date instead of Calender.
You can use 'convertDateTime'. Here is a sample usage

<h:inputText id="event_time" value="#{bean.eventTime}">
<f:convertDateTime dateStyle="short" type="both"/>
</h:inputText>

Instead, if you really want to convert the text to a custom type you can go through the below url.

hope this helps
