Hi Martin, The problem seems to be a fundamental bug in the way that daylight savings is calculated. Whenever you select a day in the date picker, it seems to select the previous day. This happens on the live demos, which is defaulted to GMT, as there is no default in trinidad-config.xml.
This then affects validation of the date. If we take the example where the date should have a minimum of todays date. The popup will not allow you to select it, as it calculates that the max day is tomorrow (strangely). I then set the minimum date as today -1. This allows you to then select todays date in the popup, which then selects the previous day. Eg today = 20/09/2007 (dd/MM/yyyy). Minimum date = 19/09/2007, popup selected = '20/09/2007' Value returned to text area = 19/09/2007l, which then fails validation - even though the minimum date is set. It seems like a complex problem with the daylights saving....which i think is coupled with the timezone.

What I remember, we were initially using the system timezone for the f:convertDateTime, but had to change over to using GMT cause else the TCK would fail under certain circumstances. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/myfaces-users/200509.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] regards, Martin On 9/21/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi again. > I did some more investigation into this, and it seems that whenever you pick > a date after the end of october, when daylight savings time switches, the > date picker is ok. > All very confusing. > Should i be setting my default timezone to be GMT or a different one, like > Europe/London? > > Andy > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Adam Winer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: MyFaces Discussion <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, 16 September, 2007 7:57:24 PM > Subject: Re: tr:inputDate > > > I still strongly suspect this is a daylight savings time issue, > or at least a time zone issue, where one part of the system is > interpreting the date with one time zone, and another part > of the system is doing so with a different time zone. > Because of how java.util.Date is misdesigned, that means > that something entered as midnight of 16/09/2007 can > end up as 23:00 of 15/09/2007 when re-displayed. > > -- Adam > > > On 9/16/07, Simon Lessard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just checked demo files and we don't use a TimeZone setting in > > trinidad-config.xml, so my hunch wasn't good. > > > > > > On 9/16/07, Simon Lessard < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > If that's the sole issue, then yes it should fix it. > > > > > > > > > > > > On 9/16/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > Sounds like that could be it -seeing as it affects all instances. > > > > Not to sound too stupid, but i take it that this can be addressed by > > applying a timezone object to the inputDate through the use of the > > convertDateTime tag? > > > > > > > > Regards, > > > > Andrew > > > > > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > > > > From: Simon Lessard < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > To: MyFaces Discussion <[email protected]> > > > > > > > > Sent: Sunday, 16 September, 2007 4:36:45 PM > > > > Subject: Re: tr:inputDate > > > > > > > > My hunch would be the timezone setting.
