TR: ManifoldCF 2.11, DatTime format in Status and Job Management

[SAUNIER Maxence <MS...@q1c1.fr>]

Hello Karl,

Can I change the datetime format < MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:sss > to have < yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss > or < dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss > ?

Thanks,

I looked again at what is available natively under Java for locale-specific
date formatting.  The only game in town seems to be DateFormat, which has
only 9 canned configurations for date/time formatting.  The one that most
closely matches what we do now comes out like this for US:

' 11/30/18 10:14:53 AM'

This is not quite what you want since you don't get milliseconds and you
don't get a 4-character year either.  But it's the best I can do with
off-the-shelf stuff, other than to make the format be configurable in
properties.xml, which I'm not thrilled with.

The dates/times for this page are formatted as follows:

org.apache.manifoldcf.ui.util.Formatter.formatTime(clientTimezone,
pageContext.getRequest().getLocale(), js.getStartTime());

But the code for formatTime pays no attention to the preferred format for
the locale:

  public static String formatTime(TimeZone tz, Locale locale, long time)
  {
    Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar(tz, locale);
    c.setTimeInMillis(time);
    // We want to format this string in a compact way:
    // mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss.mmm
    StringBuilder returnString = new StringBuilder();
    writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1,2);
    returnString.append("-");
    writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),2);
    returnString.append("-");
    writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.YEAR),4);
    returnString.append(" ");
    writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY),2);
    returnString.append(":");
    writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.MINUTE),2);
    returnString.append(":");
    writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.SECOND),2);
    returnString.append(".");
    writechars(returnString,c.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND),3);
    return returnString.toString();
  }


So if you would like this to be changed you might want to create an
enhancement request.

Thanks,
Karl
