Thank you for your suggestion, I will try that.

Hmm.   Not much to see here.

However, it looks like the converter type is being set at component
tree build time rather than render type.

So there is no data table row active at this point, and thus no variable.

Looking at ConvertDateTimeTagBase, I see that the value binding is
evaluated at converter creation time rather than converter-use time.

Same for timezone, pattern and everything else.

I'd say that's a bad design since we evaluate value bindings during
rendering for everything else.

Unfortunately, this design is part of the JSF spec.

http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/1.1_01/docs/api/

If it were me, I'd write my own converter.   All you need to do is to
change the converter to take value bindings instead of evaluated value
binding results, and change the getters to return the evaluated value
bindings.   In fact, you can simply extend the existing converter to
add some set*ValueBinding() methods, and then, if the value binding
exists, evaluate it instead of using the constant object.

For the end user of the final tag, there shouldn't be any difference
-- the difference would only show up at the java code level.

Converters that evaluate at rendertime would be an excellent addition
to Tomahawk.   I don't currently see any Tomahawk equivalents of the
existing converters.
