Re: [castor-user] Date in string Format

[Subbu]

Hi,

You will have to write a custom handler :

Here is an example code for the handler and its useage:

Cheers,

Subbu

 

package com.test;

import java.util.Date;
import java.text.*;
import org.exolab.castor.mapping.GeneralizedFieldHandler;

public class  MyDateFieldHandler extends GeneralizedFieldHandler
{
 public final DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

 public MyDateFieldHandler()
 {
 }

 public Object convertUponGet(Object value)
 {

  String retValue = null;
  if(value != null)
   retValue = format.format(value);

  return retValue;

 }

 public Object convertUponSet (Object value)
 {
  if(value != null)
  {

   String dateStr = (String) value;
   try
   {
    Date date1 = (Date) format.parse(dateStr);
    return date1;
   }
   catch (ParseException e)
   {

    throw new RuntimeException(e);
   }
  }
  else
   return null;
 }
 public Class getFieldType()
 {
  return java.lang.String.class;
 }
}

 

 

And in the mapping file following entry need to done:

 

 <field name="dob" handler="com.test.MyDateFieldHandler " type = "java.lang.String" >
  <bind-xml name="dob" node="element" />
 </field>

Hello All,

I am trying to marshal a java.util.Date object to of format "mmddccyy",
by default castor does this format
2004-09-04T00:00:00.000-07:00. Is there any way for
me to specify the string Date format that I want in the XML and vice
versa

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks
