Thiago, Once more, thanks for your (extremely) quick answer :) Indeed, It was a lot easier following your advice!
In case it can help somebody, here is the final template : <span id="${controlname}" class="monthdatafield"> <label for="${controlName}-month" class="date-label">${monthLabel}</label> <select id="${controlName}-month" name="${controlName}-month"> <t:loop source="monthModel" value="month"> <t:if test="selectedMonth"> <option selected="yes">${month}</option> <p:else> <option>${month}</option> </p:else> </t:if> </t:loop> </select> <label for="${controlName}-year" class="date-label">${yearLabel}</label> <select id="${controlName}-year" name="${controlName}-year"> <t:loop source="yearModel" value="year"> <t:if test="selectedYear"> <option selected="yes">${year}</option> <p:else> <option>${year}</option> </p:else> </t:if> </t:loop> </select> </span> And the corresponding code in MonthDateField.java : @Override protected void processSubmission(String elementName) { //Values retrieved String month = request.getParameter(getControlName()+"-month"); String year = request.getParameter(getControlName()+"-year"); SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-yyyy"); String value = month+"-"+year; //The value is stored in tracker tracker.recordInput(this, value); ..... } public boolean isSelectedMonth(){ String input = tracker.getInput(this); if ((input != null)&&(input.substring(0, 2).equals(month))) { return true; } return false; } public boolean isSelectedYear(){ String input = tracker.getInput(this); if ((input != null)&&(input.substring(3).equals(year))) { return true; } return false; } Have a nice day !
