I have a datetime field defined in my JSP page as:



When I am validating this field and the page is redisplayed it shows the following after I entered the value 04/11/2010 in this field and clicked SUBMIT again:

{0}: Conversion error occurred.

My validation code is as follows for this field:



Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Any help/direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey, try using "dd/MM/yyyy".
java is case sensitive and sometimes causes issue with case.

also, why do you want the user to input dates manually.
give a small calendar next to the input box and let the user click and decide the date from the pop-up-calendar.

dont make the input text editable so you dont have to write a converter for it.

After finally getting the JS calendar setup on my form I selected a date from the calendar and then I got this error on my page:


Conversion Error setting value '08/23/2010' for 'null Converter'.


I may have misunderstood the post above but I thought I would not have to write a converter for this.

I then tried changing up my code in the JSP page to include the converter dateTime as follows:



And now I get this error in my web page:


ARTransferForm:fromServiceDate: '08/23/2010' could not be understood as a date.


Thanks again in advance for the help or direction on my problem. Regards.
