date format in different locales

                 Key: JDO-547
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-547
             Project: JDO
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: api2, api2-legacy
    Affects Versions: JDO 2 maintenance release 1
            Reporter: Michael Bouschen
            Assignee: Michael Bouschen
             Fix For: JDO 2 maintenance release 1


Method testStringNullDateConstructor of api2 test class ObjectIdentityTest uses 
a DateFormat instance obtained by DateFormat.getInstance(). This returns the 
default date/time formatter which is then used to parse a date in format 
"M/d/yy h:mm a". 

This does not work in case the default date/time formatter uses a format 
different from "M/d/yy h:mm a", because of a different locale. E.g. the format 
for the German locale is "dd.MM.yy HH:mm". This leads to an exception when 
parsing the date string:
Testcase: testStringNullDateConstructor(javax.jdo.identity.ObjectIdentityTest): 
Caused an ERROR
Error parsing Date string "10/9/2007 4:26 PM" at position 2 using date format 
"dd.MM.yy HH:mm".
javax.jdo.JDOUserException: Error parsing Date string "10/9/2007 4:26 PM" at 
position 2 using date format "dd.MM.yy HH:mm".
