DateTimeField - changing the format of the date

Hi

I would like to change the format of the default displayed date
"MM/dd/yy" to "dd/MM/yyyy" when using the DateTimeField.

I cannot find any resource online that shows how this is implemented. Is
this even possible?

Hi

I've implemented a custom DateConverter for that:
In my Application.java I've got:
protected IConverterLocator newConverterLocator () {
    ConverterLocator converterLocator = new ConverterLocator();
    converterLocator.set(Date.class, new MyDateConverter());
    return converterLocator;
}

class MyDateConverter extends DateConverter where I overrode getDateFormat:

    public DateFormat getDateFormat (Locale locale) {
        return new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy", locale);
    }

Then any textfield marked as Date will be converted using this date 
format. I haven't used DateTimeField itself but it should probably be 
the same or very close to it.
I'm using Wicket 1.3.5

See this reply from me a while back - you can use that to format the date
however you want globally within the app....

Hey guys

Thanks for the help, but I found the solution. Its so easy. :D

The DateTimeField class has a method called
newDateTextField(PropertyModel model, String id). All that I did was
override this method as follows:

DateTimeField dateToField = new DateTimeField("dateToField", new
PropertyModel(this, "dateTo")) {
	@Override
	public Locale getLocale() {
		return new Locale("en");
	}

	@Override
	protected DateTextField newDateTextField(String id,PropertyModel
dateFieldModel) {
		return DateTextField.forDatePattern(id,
dateFieldModel,"dd/MM/yyyy");
	}
};


Regards,
Yazeed Isaacs
