Hi Lucas,
I was able to reproduce this. The problem is in the client datetime
converter, which assumes that years occupy 4 digits.
function _subparse (..)
case 'y': // year
var year = _accumulateNumber(parseContext, 4);
So, it parses a string like "981122" and gets year=9811, then runs out
of digits for the month and day. This hasn't been a more common problem
because there is usually a separator ('/' in en_us), so when the parse
encounters the separator char, it doesn't try to consume more
characters. In the en_us case, after it parses out year=98, it will fix
it to 1998 in _fix2DYear.
I'm not familiar with the history of "shortish" in the converter, it may
be why the client code assumes 4 characters for years. Tag doc states:
The default dateStyle is |shortish|. Shortish is identical to
|short| but forces the year to be a full four digits. |dateStyle|
defaults to |shortish| if it was not set.
If anyone knows if there is a limitation on date time converter
regarding 2 digit years, please chime in. Otherwise, this sounds like a
bug (workaround: use 4 digit years or separator char).

Hello everybody,
I am trying to convert an input into a date using Trinidad.
<tr:inputDate rendered="#{col.date}"
value="#{co.value}"
disabled="#{!col.edit}"
required="false">
<tr:convertDateTime pattern="#{col.pattern}" />
</tr:inputDate>
It works fine for almost each pattern. I am however facing some
problems when the pattern becomes "yyMMdd"
In this case, as long as the client validation is allowed. I do not
have this problem anymore if I disable the client validation with
<client-validation>DISABLED</client-validation>
With the client validation enabled, the value is never committed as
far as the validation fails. It prints : valid example: 981122
Obviously this example value does not work either. Is this problem
known? I searched for this but did not find anything.
Thanks in advance
Lucas
