Provide Converters for Java 8 Date and Time API (JSR 310)

[eclipse-faces-bot]

Apologies if I have missed an existing issue but I'm trying to determine how the convertDateTime converters will be aligned to support Java 8 Date and Time API in JSF 2.3

I meant to do this as a SPEC issue. Can it be moved?

Yes, this is a must for JSF 2.3.

EG member Josh Juneau wrote a blog post about it, but to actually get it in the spec we need a lot more work: < http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2015/06/utilizing-the-java-8-date-time-api-with-jsf-and-java-ee-7.html >.

Some questions about putting this in the spec.

1. What do we need to say in section 3.3.3 Standard Converter Implementations?

2. Which of java.time.

{LocalDate,LocaleTime,LocalDateTime}

do we want to support? All of them I'd think, but how does this square with the JSF conversion model which seems to favor the combined "DateTime" concept.

3. Perhaps we should create a new converter along side DateTimeConverter, say JavaTimeDateTimeConverter and trick it out with lots of attributes as the current DateTimeConverter does?

Actively working on prototype of LocalDateTime conversion.

Creating a new converter, as suggested by Ed Burns, and utilizing the "type" attribute of the convertDateTime tag to indicate the conversion of "localDateTime".

Josh! I created a topic branch for this, it is JAVASERVERFACES-4070. Please pull that branch and work from there.

I've made some good progress already.
