title: jsf primefaces datatable filtering issues
body: <p>I am using primefaces and its datatable. A few columns are dates or currencies. If I try to filter those, there are awkward behaviours. When I start typing the filter works until the first delimiter (dot for date for example, so it only filters for 11. the next character let the table to display no entry). </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to apply a dateconverter?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code for now:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p:column filterBy="#{cou.startDate}"
      headerText="#{text['date']}"
      filterMatchMode="contains" 
      sortBy="#{cou.startDate}" &gt;
          &lt;h:outputText value="#{cou.startDate}" &gt;
               &lt;f:convertDateTime pattern="dd.MM.yyyy" /&gt;
          &lt;/h:outputText&gt;
  &lt;/p:column&gt; 
  </code></pre>
