af:inputDate Validation

The mentioned example demonstrates how to implement specific validation for the af:inputdate component.

Use Case: Application expects the entered date to be atleast 18 Years from current date

jspx code:
<af:inputDate value="#{bindings.Dob.inputValue}"
                          label="Date Of Birth" autoSubmit="true"
                          shortDesc="#{bindings.Dob.hints.tooltip}" id="id1">
              <f:validator binding="#{bindings.Dob.validator}"/>
              <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.Dob.format}"/>
              <af:validateDateTimeRange maximum="#{pageFlowScope.BackingBean.userDOBMax}"/>
              <af:convertDateTime hintDate=" " messageDetailConvertDate=" "/>
     </af:inputDate>


Here the af:validateDateTimeRange  is binded to backing bean method named userDOBMax which is defined as follows:

    public Date getUserDOBMax() {
        Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
        now = Calendar.getInstance();
        now.add(Calendar.YEAR, -18);
        return now.getTime();
    }

specific validations can be implemented as per the requirement
