date converter
<h:outputText value="Start" />
<h:inputText id="startDate" value="#{form.startDate}">
<f:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" />
<hx:inputHelperDatePicker />
</h:inputText>
I have this simple code, whenever I submit the form, and display the start date in action class, it is printing a day before. Like, if I set the date as 08/24/2006, I am getting 'Wed Aug 23 20:00:00 EDT 2006'
Thanks in Advance.

Most likely something to do with the timezone or locale not being set right (the date is parsed in one zone and printed in a different one).
You could try setting the "timeZone" attribute of your "convertDateTime" tag, and also where are you getting "'Wed Aug 23 20:00:00 EDT 2006'" from? If you are justing calling startDate.toString(), it will be using the default timezone and date format for your platform. It is usually better to use a DateFormat, and explicitly set the timezone on that also.
Thanks tony.I got it. Its due to my local server which is in EDT timezone and so it is converting normal GMT date to EDT and so the difference of 4 hrs. all our qa, prod servers shud be having GMT timezones and it shud be working fine there.
