I have looked into this some more and am trying to figure out what determines when a object that extends HtmlInputText will have the getter property called for each round trip to the server. Is there a setting some where that makes it so <x:inputDate> (a.k.a. HtmlInputCalendar) doesn't have it's getter property called for subsequent round trips after the initial page load?
I started looking at the MyFaces code base, but couldn't find where that would be specified. From what I can tell here is the inheritance structure: javax.faces.component.UIOutput javax.faces.component.UIInput javax.faces.component.html.HtmlInputText org.apache.myfaces.custom.calendar.HtmlInputCalendar I do not have an intimate knowledge of JSF innerds yet so if somebody could help me out I would be much appreciative. Basically I am just looking for a way to update a <h:inputCalendar> field after the initial page load. I have tried using the binding attribute thinking I might have some additional control from that avenue, but it still only calls the getter property on the initial page load and not subsequent page loads.
