24h problems in convertDateTime in JSF

Question

I have an input textfield with a convertDateTime to see if the time is right. The problem is that convertDateTime is set to 12 hours of counting but I want 24 hours of counting, someone who knows how to solve this? If for example, I type in 14:12, I get the error message: '14: 12 'could not be under stood as a date. But 02:12 is fine. Here is the code: ``` ``` Backbean: ``` @ManagedBean(name = "backBean") @SessionScoped public class BackBean { private Date date = new Date(); public void setTime(Date inDate) { date.setMinutes(inDate.getMinutes()); date.setHours(inDate.getHours()); } public Date getTime() { return date; } public TimeZone getTimeZone() { TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getDefault(); return timeZone; } } ```

Accepted Answer

The `` uses `java.text.SimpleDateFormat` API under the covers, whose javadoc is available here, listing all available pattern letters. For hours, you used a pattern of `hh` which is in the javadoc described as ``` h Hour in am/pm (1-12) ``` , while you clearly want the one described as follows in the javadoc: ``` H Hour in day (0-23) ``` Fix it accordingly: ``` ```
