Hi Andrew, I've sorted the issue with the Illegal Argument. My mistake.
However, the convertDateTime tag is still not working.
The tag is kicking in but the evaluation of the pattern is not.
If I hard code a value of 'yyyyMMdd' everything is sweet - in those
cases where that is the actual pattern I require.
If I rely on el (either nodeFormat or entity['format']) the pattern
seems to be set to "".
I'm guessing this is the case as the attached image shows a valid
example being blank.
Setting of shortDesc with nodeFormat is fine and the required value is
displayed as a tool tip.
<tr:inputDate id="dateChoice" value="#{nodeData}"
rendered="#{nodeType['date'] and !nodeReadOnly}"
maximumLength="#{nodePrecision}"
shortDesc="#{nodeFormat}">
<tr:convertDateTime pattern="#{entity['format']}"
secondaryPattern="#{entity['format']}" />
</tr:inputDate>
Thanks,
Gerry

I think there may be a discrepancy between the c:set in JSTL and the
behavior of the c:set TagHandler in facelets. Another user was saying
that it worked as well. Facelets must implement it differently by not
evaluating the EL immediately, but instead doing a substitution of EL.

I just looked at the source code after reading your stack trace, and
the UIXComponentBase.findComponent is dying on this line:
if ("".equals(id))
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
Interpreting the stack trace:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.UIXComponentBase.findComponent(UIX
ComponentBase.java:491)
at
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.util.ComponentUtils.findRelativeComponent(Co

lTriggerListeners(RequestContextImpl.java:550)
at
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.component.UIXComponentBase.decode(UIXCompone
ntBase.java:710)
It seems that the partialTtriggers of a component is "" during decode,
which is an invalid value (although if true, this should probably be
handled).
>From the stack, it appears that the problem is a child of a column
component. Try to see if you can determine the component and
partialTriggers that may be blank on decode, then get back to us.
