Hello,
Although it has been in discussion under various threads let's give it another
chance to close.
We noticed the following concerns before we get into making standard date
format across application-
Java or Groovy
- Timestamp.valueOf : it takes only yyyy-[m]m-[d]d hh:mm:ss[.f...]
- Using formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S") with
different format
- UtilDateTime.java datetime, date and time format is not configurable.
- toString() on Date and Timestamp being used which always returns yyyy-mm-dd
hh:mm:ss.fffffffff format.
FTL/XML
- ?string() being used
- toString also being used
- getString() being used on GenericValues
- formatDateTime() method of UtilFormatOut.java
To make date format standard we did-
- Made UtilDateTime.java datetime, date and time formats configurable (through
properties file).
- Set datetime_format, time_format and date_format patterns at free marker
configuration level.
- Changed all hard coded format patterns from UtilDateTime configured patterns.
- Removed following from ftls
- ?string() [ To remove all hard coded patterns of rendering]
- toString()
- getString() to get timestamp value
- Added patterns (not hard coded) to all formatDateTime() method of
UtilFormatOut.java
Total number of files being affected is approximate 62 and total number of
changes is approx 1k.
Do anyone see any concern that is not considered?
