I am not sure if I understood your question well, although from what I understood so far your problem doesn't look complex at all. Just save your input in the proper manner and pass the value to your bean. Properties of date class such hour, minute seconds have been deprecated (although you can still use them). Also you can try to just pass the long value, but I´m not sure how that works. You should find all the needed specification here

Answer 2

You can try like this

<h:inputText value="#{backingBean.someDate}">  
   <f:convertDateTime pattern="yyyy-MM-dd"/>  
</h:inputText>

where someDate is a util date & have accessor methods in the backing bean.
