My question is if the datetimepicker is only going to be ready in 2.1 then
how should I implement this in my application?
As mentioned previously in this thread, a work-around for the current
datetimepicker issues is to convert the date value to and from an
RFC3339 string within your action. The conversion is a simple
DateFormat operation. This is the JSP that works:
<s:datetimepicker name="answerString" displayFormat="d MMMM yyyy"
type="date"
value="%{defaultAnswerDate}"
startDate="%{todayAsRFC3339}"
required="true"/>
where answerString, defaultAnswerDate and todayAsRFC3339 are all string
properties and all values are in RFC3339 format (not Date!)
That will give you a popup calendar that works in at least in IE6 and
Firefox. I burnt about 10 hours trying to get that stupid thing to work.
The timepicker mode (type="time") is simply terrible and I can't
recommend it whatsoever. It works, but it's awful to use. I've already
removed it from all my projects and replaced it with some selects and
basic javascript. In fact, my client also hates the datetimepicker
calendar implementation (type="date") - sure it looks nice, but for
reasons I don't understand the popup's design seems to confuse
non-technical people. I'll be replacing that with the one Torsten
emailed about earlier at the first opportunity I get:
