Yaron,
I think you did not quite understand his scenario. The user is entering
"MM/dd/YY" format (by hand, not clicking) instead of "MM/dd/yyyy". A
validator could easily detect that the year entered is too short, and
send a message stating such back to the user.
Now in the case of MM/dd being confused with dd/MM.... there, you would
really be in trouble. :)

But seriously, your question does not seem to be a JSF related question,
if the user clicks a valid date you can not check (as far as I know)
what he thought when he entered it.
My workaround would be to switch the input to comboBox, then you don't
need any validation. In order to solve your problem, present the month
as names "Jan", "Feb" etc. while leaving the dates as numbers, that
should do the trick.
Good luck :->

Subject: inputCalendar validator
Hi,
I'm using t:inputCalendar and have a question I'm sure someone has
already addressed. But a google search was futile.
If a user decides to enter the input in manually .... What's the best
way to validate this input?
I have a user who loves to enter the date as MM/dd/YY ignoring the help
text
But the expected is MM/dd/yyyy
So when he enters 12/01/06 ....
It gets entered into the database as Dec, 01, 0006
Thanks for your help,
tc
