* The property driving this is oxf.xforms.format.input.date, defined
in properties-xforms.xml. There you will want to put your format.
* The client-side and server-side code always communicate using the
ISO format. So you need to change the parsing / displaying code in
xforms.js (used when the user changes the value, or a new value is
received from the server) and in Java (used when generating the HTML).
* On the JavaScript side, this is in xforms.js, in ORBEON.util.DateTime.
* In the Java side, you might not have to change anything. I think the
code calls the format-date() with the picture you defined in
properties-xforms.js, so it might just work out of the box. Otherwise,
you can start by the class XFormsInputHandler which is where the HTML
generation starts.

To help with the changes to the JavaScript code, see:

You'll let us know how it goes!
