Primefaces calendar component show only month and year

Question

primefaces calendar component is getting Date by default. Can I get only month and year without dates.

How to get only month and year

Answer 1

I just hid the table of the day picker with CSS. I also had to create my own arrows for navigating, because the standard arrows do not fire the dateSelect event.

Markup:

CSS:

.tableView table,
.tableView a.ui-datepicker-prev,
.tableView a.ui-datepicker-next {
    display: none;
}

Bean methods:

public void decrementMonth() throws Exception {  
    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    c.setTime(this.selectedDate);
    c.add(Calendar.MONTH, -1);

            //... business logic to update date dependent data
}  

public void incrementMonth() throws Exception {  
    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    c.setTime(this.selectedDate);
    c.add(Calendar.MONTH, 1);

            //... business logic to update date dependent data
}
