I don't have any more ideas from what you've posted. If it were me,
I'd step through the process with the debugger and see why at this
point. Make sure the value bindings are set to what you think they
are, and if they are, see what's calling rawDate.

Hah! That works, thanks, but now I'm facing a new complication:
#{rptPeriod.reportingDateMonthly} and #{rptPeriod.reportingDateMonthly} doesn't
seem to be mapping to the right field in the underlying bean. Let me explain...
'rtpPeriod' is a representation of ReportingPeriod bean, instances of which populate
the collection behind <t:selectItems> component. These ReportingPeriod beans
have 3 properties for display, each formatted differently, and set by Spring-based
DAOlike this:
public void setReportingDate(Date reportingDate) {
//logger.debug("set reporting date to: " + reportingDate);
this.reportingDate = reportingDate;
this.setReportingDateDaily(new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd
yyyy").format(reportingDate));
this.setReportingDateMonthly(new SimpleDateFormat("MMM
yyyy").format(reportingDate));
this.setRawDate(new
SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format(reportingDate));
}
What I see on the page though, is a combo box with the content populated in the
following manner:
03/01/2007
02/01/2007
01/01/2007, etc.
That is instead of using #{rptPeriod.reportingDateMonthly} or
#{rptPeriod.reportingDateDaily}, #{rtpPeriod.rawDate} seems to be used.
Here is my current code:
=====================================================================================================================================
public void setReportingPeriodSelectOneMenuControl(
HtmlSelectOneMenu reportingPeriodSelectOneMenuControl) {
if (reportingPeriods == null){
logger.debug("reportingPeriods == null: " +
(reportingPeriods==null) + "building reportingPeriods list...");
reportingPeriods = this.getSearchService().getReportingPeriods();
}
//building <t:selectItems>
if (reportingPeriodsSelectItemsControl == null){
reportingPeriodsSelectItemsControl = (UISelectItems) FacesContext
.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createComponent(
UISelectItems.COMPONENT_TYPE);
}
reportingPeriodsSelectItemsControl.setValue(reportingPeriods);
reportingPeriodsSelectItemsControl.setVar("rptPeriod");
if (DAILY.equals(this.getPeriod())) {
reportingPeriodsSelectItemsControl.setValueBinding("itemLabel",
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication()
.createValueBinding(
"#{rptPeriod.reportingDateDaily}"));
}else if (MONTHLY.equals(this.getPeriod())) {
reportingPeriodsSelectItemsControl.setValueBinding("itemLabel",
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication()
.createValueBinding(
"#{rptPeriod.reportingDateMonthly}"));
}
reportingPeriodsSelectItemsControl.setValueBinding("itemValue",
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createValueBinding("#{rptPeriod.rawDate}"));
reportingPeriodSelectOneMenuControl.getChildren().add(reportingPeriodsSelectItemsControl);
this.reportingPeriodSelectOneMenuControl =
reportingPeriodSelectOneMenuControl;
logger.debug("setReportingPeriodSelectOneMenuControl()" +
reportingPeriodSelectOneMenuControl);
}
}
=====================================================================================================================================
ReportingPeriod bean is also registered as a managed-property of the backing
bean on the faces-config.xml if it makes any difference.
Thanks again!!!

Subject: Re: Dynamic Value binding - please help!
You need to assign ValueBinding objects, not strings.
You'd typically do something like this [example borrowed and modified from
another posting]:
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application app = context.getApplication();
reportingPeriodsSelectItemsControl.setValueBinding("itemLabel",
app.createValueBinding("#{rptPeriod.reportingDateMonthly}"));
