-------------------------------------
Summary: DateConverter should keep hint consistent across server
locales
Key: TRINIDAD-2266
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-2266
Project: MyFaces Trinidad
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Components
Affects Versions: 2.0.1-core
Reporter: Yee-Wah Lee
Priority: Trivial
DateTimeConverter contains the following code for its default hint:
static{
Calendar dateFactory = Calendar.getInstance();
dateFactory.set(1998, 10, 29, 15, 45);
_EXAMPLE_DATE = dateFactory.getTime();
}
The (arbitrary) date of 1998 was chosen as a recent date, but not the current
date, so as not to confuse users when the converter is used in conjunction with
the validator. See comments on revision 499114.
However, depending on the server locale, the Japanese Imperial or Thai Buddhist
calendar may be returned from Calendar.getInstance(). Calling set
(Calendar.YEAR, 1998) would result in a different date than the intended
(Gregorian)1998 date. For example, Thai Calendar is offset by 543 years, for
example, so the resulting Date is equivalent to 1455 Gregorian.
Suggest making the calendar instance specific to en_US, so that the example
date's year is always the locale-equivalent of (Gregorian) 1998.
