Picking date format in localization using message-binding?
Hi,
is there an easy way to pick the desired date format when using the
message-bindings?
In my example I have this in my html file:
<span jwcid="@Insert"
value="ognl:messages.format('currentServerDateAndTime', new
java.util.Date())">Current server date and time: June 26 2005</span>
The german resource entry looks like this:
currentServerDateAndTime=Aktuelle Serverzeit: {0}
The result is this:
Aktuelle Serverzeit: 03.05.06 00:09
This seems to be the short date format. What is the easiest way to
change the date format to medium or long, so I can get the seconds, etc?
Thanks,
MARK

Cool idea...
So I guess I won't entirely get around writing a few lines of code...
Thanks for the ideas

Or you could store the format string as a localized message, pass it
to the SimpleDateFormat object, and format european dates for
europeans, us dates for americans, etc.

An easy way would be to use a page property to return the formatted date
string.
Ex:
<span jwcid="@insert" value="ognl:messages.format('currentServerDateAndTime',
page.currentDateTime">Current server date and time</span>
and on the page class/
public String getCurrentDateTime() {
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM d yyyy");
return df.format(new java.util.Date());
}
