kmccoll datetime issue
I'm seeing an odd issue when displaying datetime values.
My (simplified) code is as follows:
This runs okay sometimes:
(Although datetime values not being formatted)
But other times, gives java code instead of the datetimes:
I can't figure out what triggers this, but seems to happen about half of the time.
I'm pretty new at vf so there's a good chance I'm missing something basic.
Thanks

My (simplified) code is as follows:
Code:
public class testdateController {
public Event[] getDates() {
return [ SELECT Id,
ActivityDateTime
FROM Event
ORDER BY ActivityDateTime
LIMIT 8 ];
}
}
<apex:page controller="testdateController" showHeader="false" sidebar="false">
<apex:dataTable value="{!dates}" var="each" cellpadding="6" id="scheduleTable">
<apex:column>
<apex:facet name="header">Start Time</apex:facet>
<apex:outputText value="{!each.ActivityDateTime}"/>
</apex:column>
</apex:dataTable>
</apex:page>
This runs okay sometimes:
Code:
Start Time Thu Feb 15 00:55:00 GMT 2007 Thu Mar 01 02:00:00 GMT 2007 Wed Apr 25 17:00:00 GMT 2007 Wed Feb 20 19:37:00 GMT 2008 Tue Feb 26 18:56:00 GMT 2008 Tue Feb 26 18:57:00 GMT 2008
But other times, gives java code instead of the datetimes:
Code:

Is there a reason you are using outputText as opposed to outputField? outputField will format the value for you.

I changed it to outputField and it seems to gets around the problem for me. I just tried 10 refreshes - the outputText column failed 9 times; the outputField column worked every time.
Thanks.
