Bug on the property "disabledDays" of the component af|inputDate ?

Question

Hi,
I think there is a bug on the property "disabledDays" of the component af|inputDate :
<af:inputDate disabledDays="#{MyInputDate.disabledDays}"
public class MyInputDate {     
    public DateListProvider getDisabledDays() {
        return new DateListProvider() {
            public List<java.util.Date> getDateList(FacesContext pFacesContext, Calendar pCalendar, java.util.Date pDate, java.util.Date pDate1) {
                List<java.util.Date> my_array = new ArrayList<java.util.Date>();
                try {
                    my_array.add(new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").parse("1/1/2012"));
                } catch (Exception e) {
                return my_array;
Problem:      While Only the 1 January 2012 cannot be selected, December 1, 2011 cannot be selected too !
It's the same for every first day of each month...
So, if it's possible, how can i use this property without this bug ?
I use Oracle JDeveloper 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.4.0).

Hi,
the issue indeed reproduces. The fix however is pretty simple
    public List<Date> getDateList(FacesContext facesContext, Calendar calendar, Date startDate, Date endDate) {
        ArrayList<Date> l = new ArrayList<Date>();
        Date d;
        try {
            d = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").parse("01/01/2012");
            if (endDate.compareTo(d)< 0){
                //ignore setting
            else{
                l.add(d);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
        return l;
    }Just check if the date you set is earlier than the min range of the actual date display. If it is, don't set it as it is of no use anyway
