title: Is there how to validate into rich:calendar if the date selected is before a specific date?
body: <p>I have this component:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;rich:calendar enableManualInput="true" value="#{home.born}" datePattern="dd/MM/yyyy" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and i need to validate if the selected date is equal or before actual date at the momment...
  Is there how to do it only with rich:calendar or i must verify it into home?</p>
