<t:inputCalendar> does not completely recover from submitted date/time
formatting/validation errors
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TOMAHAWK-1104
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-1104
Project: MyFaces Tomahawk
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Calendar
Affects Versions: 1.1.6
Environment: Windows XP, IE 6, MyFaces 1.1.5, Tomahawk 1.1.6
Reporter: Todd Gould
There appears to be a probelm with the <t:inutCalendar> component recovering
from user entry errors. For example, if I am using the following tag in a JSP:
<t:inputCalendar id="SinceAlertTime"
value="#{alertSummaryController.sinceTime}"
popupDateFormat="MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss" helpText="MM/dd/yyyy
HH:mm:ss"
title="MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"
popupSelectDateMessage="Select [date] as date"
renderAsPopup="true" renderPopupButtonAsImage="true">
All works as desired unless the user manually enters an invalid date/time
format (for example a typo) in the associated text entry field generated by
this component. In this case the scenario is as follows:
1. The user inadvertently enters a bad date/time format into the associated
text entry field and subsequently submits the form.
2. The validation error is correctly created and displayed back to the user
(validation failed, so Invoke Application phase never performed).
3. The user then corrects their error by either manually entering a valid
format in the associated text entry field or by invoking the popup and
selecting a date.
4. The user then submits the form and the now corrected date is apparently
accepted (i.e. no validation error). However, the previously unvalid value is
retained as the backing bean is not set and the resulting display contains the
user entered invalid date/time format upon redisplay.
We are using CLIENT stat saving method as our ajax implementation relies upon
this. If have not had a chance to see if that matters, but submit it for
complete information.
This is a severe problem for us as our user community frequently uses both the
popup to select a date and then subsequently manually adjusts the time portion
in the text entry field. If they inadvertantly creat and invalid entry in this
fashion, they are basically stuck as there the component does not appear to
recover upon re-submission of valid date/time values in the associated text
entry field - i.e. the error keeps re-appearing upon subsequent submissions.
