Date pattern
I would like to retrieve the date format pattern according to the user
Locale.
I do the following to retrieve the Struts Locale :
Locale
current=(Locale)this.pageContext.getSession().getAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY);
if(current==null)
current=Locale.US;
And now I would like to read something like : MM/DD/YYYY for US locale
or DD/MM/YYYY for FR.
How can I do that?

Xavier-
In that case I would suggest populate an item in Message_en_US.properties
such as
Date.Format = MM//DD//YYYY
and Message_fr_FR.properties contains your locale specific item for
formatting date
Date.Format = DD//MM//YYYY
then in your jsp..
Locale locale=null;
if (lang.equals("French"))
{
locale=Locale.FRANCE;
}
else
{
locale=Locale.US;
}
/obtain the ResourceBundle for your locale
ResourceBundle bundle =ResourceBundle.getBundle("Message",locale);
//iterate thru all items..
for (Enumeration e = bundle.getKeys();e.hasMoreElements();)
{
//obtain the key
String key = (String)e.nextElement();
//get the string associated with the key value (from Resource Bundle)
String s = bundle.getString(key);
if (key.equals(new String("Date.Format")) )
{ //get a DateInstance
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
//initialise to format specified from Resource Bundle
Date mydate = df.parse(s);
//put in proper output format for print
output.println(df.format(mydate);
}
}
That sort of thing..
Anyone else ???

OK thanks but I already think to put the user date pattern in the i18n
resources files, but I just would like to have a programmatic way to
read the date pattern instead of the other one.
Thanks for you response

Xavier-
WebLogic solution
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/console_ext/localization.html#1104706
But in In the purest Java sense you can populate your
Message_fr_FR.properties Application Resources file
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2000/jw-03-ssj-jsp.html#resources
The construct your simpleDateFormat using string passed in and the supplied
Locale
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html#SimpleDateFormat(java.lang.String,%20java.util.Locale)
Important Note: Message items can be referenced via Bean:message taglib
Anyone else ?
