JDeveloper 12.1.3
Sometimes I feel that I experience a setback as soon as I try to do anything more complex than "hello world' in ADF.
This time I am trying to implement adf calendar and show 'time' in activityHover facet (using af:noteWindow)
The issue I am facing can be reproduced in any available demo, so I will use this one:
http://www.gebs.ro/blog/oracle/oracle-adf-calendar-step-by-step-implementation/
So either in EO or VO I want to set my own date/time format, so that in activityHover facet I can display both date and time:
\<f:facet name="activityHover">
\<af:popup id="p6" contentDelivery="lazyUncached">
\<af:noteWindow id="nw1">
\<af:panelFormLayout id="pfl2">
\<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{bindings.Id.hints.label}:"
id="plam2">
\<af:outputText value="#{bindings.Id.inputValue}"
id="ot4"/>
\</af:panelLabelAndMessage>
\<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{bindings.StartDate.hints.label}:"
id="plam3">
\<af:outputText value="#{bindings.StartDate.inputValue}"
id="ot2">
\<af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.StartDate.format}"
type="both"/>
\</af:outputText>
For the purpose of this test, let's just say I changed to format to default: yyyy-MM-dd Simple Date
Assuming that there are some calendar events in the DB, upon running the app, the error shows:
org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.convert.TypeConversionException: Could not convert instance:2015-10-23 of type:class java.lang.String into type:class java.util.Date
at org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.convert.GenericConverterFactory.convert(GenericConverterFactory.java:289)

at oracle.adf.view.rich.model.CalendarModel.isActivityInRange(CalendarModel.java:213)
....
There is no error if no format type is used.
Is this a bug? Or ADF calendar can only work with default VO date settings?
