Description

1. Modify the inputDate demo to specify timezone as a string on the converter, e.g.
<tr:inputDate id="mdf8" value="#

{date.date5}

" label="attached converter with locale ja">
<tr:convertDateTime locale="ja" type="date" dateStyle="full" timeZone="America/New_York"/>
</tr:inputDate>

2. Run the page with facelets enabled. Get the following runtime error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert America/New_York of type class java.lang.String to class java.util.TimeZone
