ADF Faces: selectInputDate - wrong error message on range violation

Question

I use ADF EA17 with MyFaces 1.0.9.m9 and InternetExplorer 6.0.
Supported Locale "de".
When i use the af:selectInputDate in a form following happens:
<af:selectInputDate id="expirationDate"
value="#{myBean.expirationDate}"
labelAndAccessKey="#{msg['expirationDate']}"
required="true" >
<af:validateDateTimeRange minimum="2005-07-21" />
</af:selectInputDate>
If i enter "21.07.2005" i can submit the form and all is OK.
If i enter "20.07.2005" the response was
Expiration Date:
The Date entered, "20.07.2005", is outside the valid range. Entered dates must be no earlier than 20.07.2005.
But the text should be ".... Entered dates must be no earlier than 21.07.2005."
I believe the reason is my timezone (UTC+2:00).

Answer 1

There's nothing wrong with your approach at all.
There are other ways you can do it, but that's the case for most things.
You can put a tip on the inputText components, but if you want something to show only when the focus is set to the inputText, then you would need to use some javascript for that.
This [link |http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/formfieldhints.shtml] has a good example of it. I've done something similar before, it's quite simple and effective.
