None of our converters support an "or" concept for getAsObject(String).
If this feature is to be added, it must be requested as a separate
feature request.

Let's label Michael's story "input conversion differs from output
conversion". I'm dropping the "input both with and without century"
from the story as it is a separate feature request. We already support
this story: use two different components, each with a differently
configured <f:convertDateTime>.
I just verified this works with the prototype I have in topic branch
JAVASERVERFACES-4070:
<input type="text" jsf:id="localDate" value="#{backingBean.localDate}">
<f:convertDateTime type="localDate" pattern="dd.MM.uuuu" />
</input>
<h:outputText id="localDateValue" value="#{backingBean.localDate}">
<f:convertDateTime type="localDate" pattern="dd.MM.uu" />
</h:outputText>
Josh, considering the timing of this, please use my work in the topic
branch as your starting point. I'm getting very close to cutting the
EDR and we may have to just stick with that for now.
Thanks,
Ed
