Display Date format problem - 'dd/mm/yyyy'

Question

Hi All,
I want to display the date in this format dd/mm/yyyy. Below is the code which i declared in the JSPX.
<af:selectInputDate value="#{bindings.poRequestedDateH.inputValue}" id="poRequestedDateH" required="true"
binding="#{backing_POMasterDetail.poRequestedDateH}"
validator="#{backing_POMasterDetail.assignedDateValidator}">
<af:validator binding="#{bindings.poRequestedDateH.validator}"/>
<af:convertDateTime pattern='dd/mm/yyyy'/>
</af:selectInputDate>
but when i select the date from the component its displaying like this .
For Example : "09/47/2008", if i reload the page again and selecting the date its displaying some junk values in month column.
Please anyone help me to fix the problem.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Vimalan,
I just replied to the comment you posted on my blog:
"How To Specify a Second Date Pattern in ConvertDateTime"
http://blogs.oracle.com/Didier/2007/02/01#a213
Your pattern is incorrect.
In 'dd/mm/yyyy', 'mm' represents the minutes, not the months, represented by 'MM'.
You can check it with the following pattern: "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss" that will display the months and the minutes:
f.ex. "16/04/2008 16:47:08"
So just change your pattern to "dd/MM/yyyy" and it will work.
Please note that my blog was about adding a second pattern to convertDateTime.
If your aim is to use one (and only one) pattern "dd/MM/yyyy", I would specify it at the ADF Business Components level, in the "Control Hints" tab of the date attribute, in "Format".

Didier.
