title: Integrating Rich Calendar with Joda Time
body: <p>I am looking to use the Rich:Calendar in my JSF app. I am planning to use the CalendarDataModel to restrict selection of some dates like weekends, holidays etc. The date format that we use is based on Joda Time.</p>
  
  <p>The issue is that the Rich:Calendar is based on JDK Calendar, so i am thinking to use the JDK Calendar for the display and convert the date to jodatime later when it is persisted.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone used Rich:Calendar/Joda Time for selecting a date with the calendardatamodel, could you share your valuable thoughts. Thanks  </p>
