String value instead of Date

[Markus Mehrwald]

Hi all,

I have the following code:
<t:inputCalendar renderAsPopup="true" renderPopupButtonAsImage="true"
        value="#{registrationData.userToEdit.birthDate}" id="birthdate"
        required="true" popupDateFormat="dd.MM.yyyy"                                        
helpText="TT.MM.JJJJ">
	<t:validateRegExpr  								 
pattern="^([0-3]?\d)\.([0-1]?\d)\.((\d){2}|(\d){4})$" 			 
detailMessage="TT.MM.JJJJ eingeben."/>
        <f:validator validatorId="birthdateValidator" />
        <a4j:support reRender="birthdateP" event="onblur"                                    
    ajaxSingle="true" />
</t:inputCalendar>

The problem is, that the regexpr validator does not work because it gets 
the String vom the Date's toString and this is not what is shown in the 
textfield. Do I have any possibility to get the text which is shown in 
the textfield for the validator?

Thanks,
Markus
