Michael Bouschen updated JDO-547:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: JDO-547.patch

I propose to remove the test method testStringNullDateConstructor. In order to 
work in a locale other than the US locale we need to register a date formatter 
based on the US locale that is able to parse the specified date literal. This 
is already tested in method testStringDateConstructor. 

Attached you find a patch removing method testStringNullDateConstructor from 
ObjectIdentityTest in api2 and api2-legacy.

> api2 ObjectIdentityTest.testStringNullDateConstructor fails due to unexpected 
> date format in different locales

> 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".
