Non-standart date format parsing by LenientFieldParser.

[gross <gr...@gmail.com>]

Hello, all!

To parse date rfc822 message I use LenientFieldParser, and it
internally uses DateTimeFieldLenientImpl.PARSER.
This parser use only one standard date format from DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT
const. And there's no usual method to parse non-standard date formats.
How it can be added to FieldImpl?
I see a workaround: to parse field manually, not using
LenientFieldParser, but it seems to be ugly.

Konstantin

You can create a custom implementation of DateTimeField parser and plug
it in place of the default one.

LenientFieldParser fieldParser = new LenientFieldParser();
FieldParser<DateTimeField> dateTimeParser = new
MyDateTimeFieldLenientParser();
fieldParser.setFieldParser(FieldName.DATE, dateTimeParser);
fieldParser.setFieldParser(FieldName.RESENT_DATE, dateTimeParser);

Hope this helps
