I am using a flex repeater in 8.0.16 to show a view of some data. The instances are bound to a named query.
I am finding that for the date objects are showing in the designer as date objects, and I have setup the corresponding params on the subview.
With this setup, in my subview the object type is java.util.Date in the designer. However, when I switch over to runtime, the object is now org.python.core.PyUnicode.
This obviously throws all sorts of odd behavior. Is there a reason why the types are different when the params are sent to the subview in a flex repeater? Is this expected and I should always assume dates are sent as strings to the repeater instances?
The designer keeps trying to be smart and auto-upgrade the strings to date objects, so I am struggling to give the designer a date string to work with.
