Our users require dates to be input and displayed using the Buddhist
calendar - where the year is 543 years greater than the Gregorian calendar.
In normal Java, the following works:
Locale locale = new Locale("th", "TH");
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE dd/MM/yyyy", locale);
System.out.println("Date is: " + dateFormat.format(new Date()));
which outputs
Date is: ????????? 28/02/2554
This is the result we require.
Trying the equivalent in GWT, I set the locale to "th_TH", and ran the
following code:
DateTimeFormat dateFormat = DateTimeFormat.getFormat("EEEE dd/mm/yyyy");
System.out.println("Date is: " + dateFormat.format(new Date()));
which outputs
Date is: ????????? 28/02/2011
ie the year is incorrect (2011, should be 2554).
It appears that the DateTimeFormat class does not support the +543 year
offset required for the Buddhist calendar. I've tried looking through the
GWT source + generated code, and it appears that this is the case.
Is this a deficiency of the DateTimeFormat class, or am I missing a trick?
Thanks.
