Value of selectManyCheckBox of type Calendar being cast as String

Question

I'm using PrimeFaces' selectManyCheckbox with a list of Calendars, but when I access the List of selected Calendars in my bean there are String represantations of the Calendars, not Calendar objects inside and this is throwing ClassCastException.

BEAN

@ManagedBean(name = "sequenciaDeDatasFolgaController")
@SessionScoped
public class SequenciaDeDatasFolgaController
{

private List<Calendar> datasSelecionadas = new ArrayList<Calendar>();



/**
     * @return lista com dias do mes do ano selecionado
     * @throws WplexEOException
     */
    public List<Calendar> getListaJaneiro() throws WplexEOException
    {
        final List<Calendar> retorno = new ArrayList<Calendar>();
        final int ultimoDia = DataUtil.ultimoDiaDoMes(Conversor.converteStringParaDate("01/01/" + this.anoSelecionado)); //$NON-NLS-1$
        for (int i = 1; i <= ultimoDia; i++)
        {
            String data = i + "/01/" + this.anoSelecionado; //$NON-NLS-1$
            if (data.length() < 10)
            {
                data = "0".concat(data); //$NON-NLS-1$
            }
            retorno.add(Conversor.converteStringDDMMYYEmCalendar(data));
        }
        RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().execute("hide('loading');"); //$NON-NLS-1$
        return retorno;
    }


/**
 * @param data
 * @return
 */
public String getLabel(final Calendar date)
{
    return Converter.convertsCalendarToStringDDMMEEE(date);
}

/**
     * @return the datasSelecionadas
     */
    public List<Calendar> getDatasSelecionadas()
    {
        return this.datasSelecionadas;
    }

    /**
     * @param datasSelecionadas the datasSelecionadas to set
     */
    public void setDatasSelecionadas(final List<Calendar> datasSelecionadas)
    {
        this.datasSelecionadas = datasSelecionadas;
    }

XHTML:

<p:selectManyCheckbox
                            value="#{sequenciaDeDatasFolgaController.datasSelecionadas}"
                            layout="grid" columns="1">
                            <f:selectItems
                                value="#{sequenciaDeDatasFolgaController.listaJaneiro}"
                                var="var"
                                itemLabel="#{sequenciaDeDatasFolgaController.getLabel(var)}"
                                itemValue="#{var}" />
                        </p:selectManyCheckbox>

And my problem is that when I debug setDatasSelecionadas(), if I test the value of datasSelecionadas.get(0) it shows a String represetantion of the Calendar like so :

(java.lang.String) java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=1451613600000,areFieldsSet=true,areAllFieldsSet=true,lenient=true,zone=sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="America/Sao_Paulo",offset=-10800000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,transitions=129,lastRule=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=America/Sao_Paulo,offset=-10800000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=3,startMonth=9,startDay=15,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=3,endMonth=1,endDay=15,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0]],firstDayOfWeek=1,minimalDaysInFirstWeek=1,ERA=1,YEAR=2016,MONTH=0,WEEK_OF_YEAR=1,WEEK_OF_MONTH=1,DAY_OF_MONTH=1,DAY_OF_YEAR=1,DAY_OF_WEEK=6,DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=1,AM_PM=0,HOUR=0,HOUR_OF_DAY=0,MINUTE=0,SECOND=0,MILLISECOND=0,ZONE_OFFSET=-10800000,DST_OFFSET=3600000]

So when I try to use it in a enhanced for later

    for (final Calendar datas : this.datasSelecionadas)
        {
          //some code
        }

It throws the exception:

I tried using a custom converter, but the object also gets to the converter as a String not as an Object. What could be the problem?

@BalusC I should use Date instead of Calendar then? Because it's too complex to create a new Calendar from its toString in the converter isn't it? — StudioWorks, Feb 25 '16 at 12:55
That's more wise yes. Note: `itemValue="#{var.time}"` gives `Date`. Regardless, make sure you specify **full** date+time pattern in `` otherwise you run into "Validation error: Value is not valid" http://stackoverflow.com/q/5406700 — BalusC, Feb 25 '16 at 12:57
