Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-657:
----------------------------------------
Ok, it looks like what has happened is that each connector has grown
organically in incompatible ways. Here's the jcifs code:
{code}
rd.addField("lastModified", new
Date(file.lastModified()).toString());
{code}
... where file.lastModified() is a long value ms. since epoch.
Here's the wiki connector:
{code}
rd.addField("last-modified",lastModified);
{code}
... where lastModified is a direct parse of the XML returned from the wiki API.
These we will have to leave alone in order to maintain backwards compatibility.
But I see no reason why we can't proceed as I've proposed above and provide a
general way of handling last-modified dates in a specific solr attribute
(probably defined on the "Schema" tab).
Thoughts?

>
> several connectors add datetime attributes to RepositoryDocument, but they do
> not have common format. Examples:
> WikiConnector adds last-updated: 2010-10-10T12:34:00Z
> SharedDriveConnector adds last-updated: Thu May 28 17:39:46 CEST 2009
> and so on.
> Solr requires all date/datetime fields to be passed as YYYY-MM-DDTHH:II:SSZ
> We need to standardize formats (my recommendation is solr format) or allow to
> add Date attributes to RepositoryDocument and move formatting to
> OutputConnector.
