I am getting the following exception when i am trying to run a page with convertdatetime tag.
16:15:20,491 ERROR [Engine] ----- Root Cause -----

My code looks like:
     <f:view>
     <h:form id="frm" rendered="true">
          <h:inputText id="name" size="20" value="01/01/2005"/>
          <f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="short"/>
          </h:inputText>
          <h:message for="name" /><br>
          <h:commandButton id="submit" action="Submit" value="Submit" />
     </h:form>
     </f:view>
Any ideas ?

Answer 1

the code should be fine
you have a syntax error
<h:inputText id="name" size="20" value="01/01/2005"/>
<f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="short"/>
</h:inputText>
remove the bracket
<h:inputText id="name" size="20" value="01/01/2005">
<f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="short"/>
</h:inputText>
