You could use a decorator. I use the following code to display and sort
newspaper article publication dates. If DisplayTag is sorting the list
by ArticleDate then the decorator returns the date formatted as
yyyyMMddHHmmss. If DisplayTag is displaying the list then the decorator
applies the correct format to display the date nicely.
/**
* A flag to tell the decorator methods when they're being sorted
and when they're being
* displayed. Set to true by startRow and false by finishRow
*/
protected boolean display = false;
/**
* A date formatter that allows sorting by date
*/
protected Format sortformat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss");
/**
* Turns on the display flag
*/
public String startRow() {
display = true;
return "";
}
/**
* @param article the article to return the date of
* @return a nicely formatted article date
*/
public String getArticleDate(Article article) {
String date = "";
Format fmt = article.getSource().getFrequency().getFormat();
if (display) {
date = fmt.format(article.getArticleDate());
} else {
date = sortformat.format(article.getArticleDate());
}
return date;
}
/**
* Turns off the display flag.
*/
public String finishRow() {
display = false;
return "";
}
