As TRINIDAD-859 (see [1]) mentions, currently an input like "January 4, 2004" fails. To make the converter more lenient, we (internally) will apply some patterns, when calling getAsObject().
A little question I have is, should these patterns be applied always? Or... only if there is no pattern/secondaryPattern set for the converter. I'd vote for the always applying them. What are your thoughts? -Matthias [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-859 -- Matthias Wessendorf further stuff: blog: http://matthiaswessendorf.wordpress.com/ sessions: http://www.slideshare.net/mwessendorf mail: matzew-at-apache-dot-org
