Hi Matthias,
actually I'm using the ADF calendar component - in the way described below,
The calendar class picks up the CET locale ... but I'm not sure how and why.
Frank Felix
<af:selectInputDate
label="#{bundle['...']}"
value="#{bean.date}"
chooseId="validFrom" required="true">
<af:convertDateTime/>
</af:selectInputDate>
class Bean
{
Calendar myDate = ...
public Date getDate()
{
return toNormalizedDate(myDate);
}
public void setDate(Date date)
{
myDate = fromNormalizedDate(date);
}
}

Many thanks. So you don't use the convertDateTime action at all? And how do
I switch to using the Europe/Berlin TimeZone?
