Date Converter

Java method in myUtils to convert dates:
	private static final SimpleDateFormat DATE_FORMAT = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
	public static String getDateFormatted(Date passedDate) {
		return DATE_FORMAT.format(passedDate);
	}

Registration of converter in faces-config:
  <converter>
    <converter-id>dateConverter</converter-id>
    <converter-class>converter.DateConverter</converter-class>
  </converter>

Java converter class:
package converter;

import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.convert.Converter;
