Here is the extract from the source:
if (Util.isNull(pattern)) {
pattern =
MessageResourcesInternal.getMessage(
"dbforms.pattern." + getFieldType(),
locale);
}
if (!Util.isNull(pattern)) {
if ("short".startsWith(pattern.toLowerCase())) {
dateStyle = DateFormat.SHORT;
pattern =
MessageResourcesInternal.getMessage("dbforms.pattern." + getFieldType() + "." +
pattern,
locale);
} else if ("medium".startsWith(pattern.toLowerCase())) {
dateStyle = DateFormat.MEDIUM;
pattern =
MessageResourcesInternal.getMessage("dbforms.pattern." + getFieldType() + "." +
pattern,
locale);
} else if ("long".startsWith(pattern.toLowerCase())) {
dateStyle = DateFormat.LONG;
pattern =
MessageResourcesInternal.getMessage("dbforms.pattern." + getFieldType() + "." +
pattern,
locale);
} else if ("full".startsWith(pattern.toLowerCase())) {
dateStyle = DateFormat.FULL;
pattern =
MessageResourcesInternal.getMessage("dbforms.pattern." + getFieldType() + "." +
pattern,
locale);
}
}
You can to define
dbforms.pattern.timestamp
dbforms.pattern.date
etc.
If you use the abbriviations SHORT, MEDIUM, FULL you can define them too:
dbforms.pattern.timestamp.short
dbforms.pattern.date.full.
Dbforms is using
public static final int DATE_STYLE_DEFAULT = java.text.DateFormat.MEDIUM;
public static final int TIME_STYLE_DEFAULT = java.text.DateFormat.SHORT;
As defaults if you do not specify the patterns for each field individually.
Could somebody append this to the docs? Shawn?????
Thanks
