Hi All,
I managed to get a workaround and understands the problem a bit better now.
The displayFormat is not only used to format the date on the display side
but is also used to format the data that comes from the action. If I specify
a value, the registered converter will be called but the datepicker will
still try to format according to the displayFormat, which is mostly not an
issue but creates problems when my date is null. This happens because the
null date is converted as an empty string which cannot be parsed according
to the displayFormat.
The workaround is to change the tag to:
<s:datetimepicker cssClass="text medium" name="miniSub.installDate"
label="%{getText('miniSub.installDate')}"
displayFormat="%{getText('date.format')}"
value="%{miniSub.installDate ==
null ? '00/00/00' : miniSub.installDate}"/>
This solves my problem but I think the date picker should not give
exceptions when the value is set to a empty string.
