Description

When used with el <f: convertDateTime > does not seem to be able to resolve the EL.
<f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="#

{attr.patternStyle}

" pattern="#

{attr.patternFormat}

" />

Typically parttern in ConvertDateTime when you debug the code is null. Yet a system.out displays the right pattern.
Beacsuse the pattern cannot be resolved a convertion error is thrown. When the value of pattern is change to be a static string line "dd-MM-yyyy", everything works fine.

In the case above attr is the Object in the current row of a <x:dataTable>
