ScrollableDataTable filtering using calender component in JSF

Question

Hi,
I just want to filter scrollableDataTable on basis of calender component in JSF. For example I want to search the activate member for a subscription in between a time period of startDate and endDate. I also want to rerender the table data using Ajax.
Any suggestion !

This fixes the compile error, but now there's a validation error on the data (see below). The property in the data object is a BigDecimal, the setter method takes a BigDecimal and the converter is the javax.faces.BigDecimal converter. Not sure why there would be a validation error.
I've noticed that if I'm using an <h:inputText> component, I don't need to specify a converter. The value entered by the user is automatically (somehow) converted to a BigDecimal and applied correctly. However, when I'm using an <h:selectOneMenu> component, I get the validation error even with specifying the converter. I've tried specifiying the converter on the <h:selectOneMenu> component as well as using the <f:converter> tag on each of the <f:selectItem> components. The validation error is persistent. Any other suggestions?
code sample:
     <h:selectOneMenu     id="priority"
               required="false"
               converter="javax.faces.BigDecimal"
               title="classification select"
               value="#{takeUserModel.developmentActivityModel.developmentactivity.branchpriority}"
               immediate="true" >
          <f:selectItem itemLabel="1" itemValue="1" />
          <f:selectItem itemLabel="2" itemValue="2" />                                        
          <f:selectItem itemLabel="3" itemValue="3" />                                        
          <f:selectItem itemLabel="4" itemValue="4" />                                        
          <f:selectItem itemLabel="5" itemValue="5" />                                        
     </h:selectOneMenu>
