I don't think you can rely on the select tag for a list of dates, as
it (obviously :)) doesn't know how to convert the dates to string.
What I find strange is that looking at the freemarker code it seems to
be like both the value and the caption should be the same
(toString()):
<@s.iterator value="parameters.list">
<#if parameters.listKey??>
<#if stack.findValue(parameters.listKey)??>
<#assign itemKey = stack.findValue(parameters.listKey)/>
<#assign itemKeyStr = stack.findString(parameters.listKey)/>
<#else>
<#assign itemKey = ''/>
<#assign itemKeyStr = ''/>
</#if>
<#else>
<#assign itemKey = stack.findValue('top')/>
<#assign itemKeyStr = stack.findString('top')>
</#if>
<#if parameters.listValue??>
<#if stack.findString(parameters.listValue)??>
<#assign itemValue = stack.findString(parameters.listValue)/>
<#else>
<#assign itemValue = ''/>
</#if>
<#else>
<#assign itemValue = stack.findString('top')/>
</#if>
<option value="${itemKeyStr?html}"<#rt/>
<#if tag.contains(parameters.nameValue, itemKey) == true>
selected="selected"<#rt/>
</#if>
>${itemValue?html}</option><#lt/>
</@s.iterator>
btw I just realized that you can put put a method call on the
"listKey" and "listValue", like
<s:select .... listKey="%{SomeConverter.dateToString(top)}"
listValue="%{SomeConverter.dateToCaptionString(top)}" />
I haven't tried tho.
