It may be basic, but... Globally setting date styles for the application?
It may seem rather basic, but I'm looking for a reasonably simple way to
globally set how the application displays dates. On rails, it was as
simple as setting that information in the l10n/i18n resource files.
I've been googling and trying to find the answer in the "Wicket in
Action" book, but it doesn't seem like it's something anyone's cared to
post the answer to.
At first I thought it was setting up a converter registered with the
java.util.Date class. The instructions on the Wiki provide answers on
how to do that for wicket 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. I attempted the 1.3
solution, and my dates are not changed. Here's what I have:
@Override
protected IConverterLocator newConverterLocator() {
ConverterLocator converterLocator = new ConverterLocator();
converterLocator.set(Date.class, new DateConverter() {
private static final long serialVersionUID =
194715223274764825L;
@Override
public DateFormat getDateFormat(Locale locale) {
return new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
}
});
return converterLocator;
}
The date still is displayed like: 11/12/09 12:58 PM
Am I missing something? Even more specifically, I would like to have
three styles I can switch between: date only, time only, and date and
time. I'm trying not to repeat myself if I can help it. I'd like to
default to "date only" and specify time or date/time when needed. I
can't seem to get the system to recognize my date only solution.

I think your answer got lost somewhere.

It appears that the newConverterLocator() route is about right, but I
have a slight issue between the Hibernate binding and what I want to
happen. In order for the converter to work, it looks for the exact
class. That means that java.util.Date won't work when the subclass
actually used is java.sql.Timestamp. Problem is that I need to display
just the date at some times, and allow people to see the full timestamp
at others (depending on the context). For example, on the main page
where I show a record the dates alone are fine, but on the page where I
display the audit history I need the full date.
So, how do I accomplish what I'm after without overcomplicating my
pages? Are converters set per page? That may be good enough for now.
Also, is there any real reason why the standard converters don't allow
you to specify a style without subclassing?
