+ The date datatype corresponds to the java.util.Date type. This means it can
be used both for dates as times.
+ The date datatype supports the following convertors:
+
+ !formatting
+
+ This convertor uses the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class (or
com.ibm.icu.text.SimpleDateFormat class if it is present in the classpath).
This means it can perform locale-dependent, pattern-based formatting of dates.
+
+ Configuration pseudo-schema:
+ {{{
+ <wd:convertor type="formatting" variant="date|time|datetime" ?
style="short|medium|long|full" ?>
+ <wd:patterns>
+ <wd:pattern>....</wd:pattern> ?
+ <wd:pattern locale="lang-COUNTRY">....</wd:pattern> *
+ </wd:patterns> ?
+ </wd:convertor>
+ }}}
+
+ Usually you will use either the variant and style attributes or the
pattern(s).
+
+ For example, the following convertor configuration:
+ {{{
+ <wd:convertor type="formatting" variant="date" style="short">
+ }}}
+
+ Will give the following for July 15, 2003: 7/15/03. Using style medium it
gives "Jul 15, 2003", style long gives "July 15, 2003", and style full gives
"Tuesday, July 15, 2003". These result are locale-dependent of course.
+
+ Here's an example of using a formatting pattern:
+ {{{
+ <wd:convertor type="formatting">
+ <wd:patterns>
+ <wd:pattern>dd/MM/yyyy</wd:pattern>
+ </wd:patterns>
+ </wd:convertor>
+ }}}
+
+ Using the same date, this will now give "15/07/2003".
+
+ It is also possible to use different patterns for different locales by using
multiple wd:pattern elements with "locale" attributes, for example:
+ {{{
+ <wd:convertor type="formatting">
+ <wd:patterns>
+ <wd:pattern>MM/dd/yyyy</wd:pattern>
+ <wd:pattern locale="nl-BE">dd/MM/yyyy</wd:pattern>
+ <wd:pattern locale="fr">dd-MM-yyyy</wd:pattern>
+ </wd:patterns>
+ </wd:convertor>
+ }}}
+
+ In this case, if the locale is "nl-BE", the second pattern will be used; if
the locale is "en", the first pattern will be used; and if the locale is
"fr-BE" the third pattern will be used (because when fr-BE is not found, it
will first search for "fr" before using the locale-indepent pattern).
+
+ !millis
+
+ The millis convertor for dates uses the number of milliseconds since January
1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT as string representation. This will likely not be used to
present dates to the user, but may be useful in selection lists retrieved from
external sources.

+ !!!Validation rule reference

+ !regexp
+
+ Can be used in combination with these datatypes: string
+
+ Checks that a string matches a regular expression. It requires a "pattern"
attributes specifying the regexp. The regular expression library used is
Jakarta ORO, see
[here|http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/api/org/apache/oro/text/regex/package-summary.html]
for some information.
+
+ Example:
+ {{{
+ <wd:regexp pattern="[a-z]{3,5}">
+ <wd:failmessage>Invalid code!</wd:failmessage>
+ </wd:regexp>
+ }}}
+
+ !mod10
+
+ Can be used in combination with these datatypes: string
+
+ Uses the "mod10" algorithm used to check the validity of credit card numbers
such as VISA. This validation rule does not require any additional attributes.
