Thanks. I believe we have some flexibility in the user interface, so we may push for something like that.

Add a check box that comes up checked by default with "use 12/31/9999". If they uncheck the box and pick their own date, it gets the date from the Calendar component instead. And the calendar can be set to today's date or whatever. Then in your back bean, if check_box = checked, then date = 12/31/99. Else get date from Calendar. Or are you required to do this exactly as you've posted?
