Problem description
==============
We want to display a selection list with various dates from which the user can select exactly one date. The user selection serves as a filter for a list of orders.

The selection list displays on the html-page and works fine, B U T  the labels are not transformed according to the pattern (dd.MM.yy) we defined in the model.xml. The labels are still in the format 2006-06-02 00:00:00.0 (like they were without any transformation).


Actual code (Java version: 1.4.2_12, Cocoon version: 2.1.9)
==========

sitemap.xmap:
...
<map:match pattern="*-display-pipeline">
  <map:generate src="forms/{1}_template.xml"/>
  <map:transform type="forms"/>
  <map:transform type="i18n">
    <map:parameter name="locale" value="de_CH"/>
  </map:transform>
  <map:transform src="resources/stylesheets/forms-styling.xsl"/>
  <map:transform type="jx"/>
  <map:transform type="i18n">
    <map:parameter name="locale" value="de_CH"/>  
  </map:transform>
  <map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
...


filter.js:
...
//prepare the list with the available reception dates

max = g_orderForm.getReceptionDate().size();
g_listData.receptionDate = new Array(max);
iter = g_orderForm.getReceptionDate().iterator();
i = 0;
               
while(iter.hasNext()) {
        //NOTE: element is of datatype="date"
        element = iter.next();
        g_listData.receptionDate[i] = {value:element, label:element};
        i++;
}
...
form.showForm("filter-disply-pipeline", {"g_listData":g_listData});


filter_model.xml:
...
<fd:field id="filter_receptionDate">
  <fd:datatype base="date"/>
  <fd:selection-list type="flow-jxpath" list-path="g_listData/receptionDate" value-path="value" label-path="label" datatype="date" null-text="*">

            </fd:patterns>
    </fd:convertor>
