Parameters providing date/time values to be stored in JCR properties of type
*Date* require special handling. The problem is that there are a number of
formats to represent such date/time values. To account for this open-ended list
of formats, the Sling Post Servlet supports configurability of the process of
parsing strings into `Calendar` objects.
The Sling Post Servlet configuration property `servlet.post.dateFormats` takes
a list of format strings which are used to setup `java.text.SimpleDateFormat`
instances for parsing date/time string representations. A special format string
`ISO8601` is supported to indicate the string to be parsed as a JCR standard
string representation of a _Date_ property.
+Only the latter supports storing the actual timezone offset. All the parsers
leveraging `java.text.SimpleDateFormat` loose the given timezone and convert
that just to the default timezone of the JRE (when creating the `Calendar` out
of the `Date`, because `java.lang.Date` is not carrying any timezone
information).
The default list of configured date/time parse pattern is:
