Aha, that is fantastic! It works (slightly modified for my situation) a
treat! Thank you very much!
BTW - when I said Javascript, I meant I didn't want to have to calculate
the business days on the client side, sorry, should have been more
clear. :)
For those interested, what I ended up doing what to add the onchange
event:
<t:inputCalendar ... onchange="submit();"/>
and then added another text box:
<h:outputText value="Days: #{calendarBean.days}" />
Then bascially implemented a getDays() method in the mean which works
out how many business days are between those two dates.
