PF 8.0 <p:calendar not displaying validation error with <f:convertDateTime

[michaelboyer1]

We are attempting to upgrade from PrimeFaces 6.1 to PrimeFaces 8.0, and now our <p:calendar tags when a user manually enters an invalid date of "00/00/0000" the <f:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" /> tag does not display the conversion error on the web page like it used to with PrimeFaces 6.1. Here is the snippet of code for one of our calendar tags:

<p:calendar value="#{ln00Bean.requestDate}" immediate="true"
size="8" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" mask="true" id="requestDate"
maxlength="10" title="Enter Report Begin Date" accesskey="R">
<f:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" />
</p:calendar>

It looks like the when the page is submitted the < <f:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" /> tag is firing but the invalid date error never displays, and the backing bean logic is never called, the page appears to hang until refreshed manually.

I figured it out. I hadn't added a reference in my <p:commandButton 's "update" attribute to reference the <p:messages tag on the page.

Updated snippet from the page code:

<h:outputLabel for="requestDate" value="REQUEST DATE:"
styleClass="ts00-subheader" />



<p:calendar value="#{ln00Bean.requestDate}" immediate="true"
size="8" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" mask="true" id="requestDate"
maxlength="10" title="Enter Report Begin Date" accesskey="R">
<f:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" />
</p:calendar>



<p:messages autoUpdate="true" redisplay="true" closable="true"
id="calMsg" />


Command button:

<p:commandButton value="Search" id="search" title="Search Button"
style="margin-left:10px;" styleClass="menu_button_bottom"
action="#{ln00Bean.search}" onstart="waitcursor();" update="calMsg"
accesskey="s">
</p:commandButton>
