[FLOW3-general] DateTime and FLUID-Form

[Mathis Hoffmann]

Thanks Ferdinand, but I could not solve the problem. I can't find any
documentation about using these initialize*Action-methods. I do
unterstand that I could influence the arguments that will be passed to
the specific Action-method using this function. I found out that
$this->arguments->getArgument('newEvent') returns the object that
contains the submitted values and will later be passed to the
action-method. But configuring the propertyMapper for that argument
fails.

I tried the following:

	/**
	 * Initialize the create action
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function initializeCreateAction() {
		$newEvent = $this->arguments->getArgument('newEvent');
		$conf = $this->propertyMappingConfigurationBuilder->build();
		$conf->forProperty('date');
		$conf->setTypeConverterOption('TYPO3\FLOW3\Property\TypeConverter\DateTimeConverter',
						\TYPO3\FLOW3\Property\TypeConverter\DateTimeConverter::CONFIGURATION_DATE_FORMAT,
						'd.m.Y');
		$newEvent = $this->propertyMapper->convert($newEvent,
'Plan\Domain\Model\Event', $conf);
		$this->arguments->addArgument($newEvent);
	}

That ends up in:    #1297759968: Exception while property mapping at
property path "":The source is not of type string, array, float,
integer or boolean, but of type "object".

Does anyone have an idea?
