It should be working currently with more than Strings. The definition of
setFromAny is:
override def setFromAny(f : Any): Date = toDate(f).map(d =>
this.set(d)).openOr(this.is)
where toDate comes from net.liftweb.util.TimeHelpers:
/** @return a Full(date) or a failure if the input couldn't be translated
to date (or Empty if the input is null)*/
def toDate(in: Any): Box[Date] = {
try {
in match {
case null => Empty
case d: Date => Full(d)
case lng: Long => Full(new Date(lng))
case lng: Number => Full(new Date(lng.longValue))
case Nil | Empty | None | Failure(_, _, _) => Empty
case Full(v) => toDate(v)
case Some(v) => toDate(v)
case v :: vs => toDate(v)
case s : String => tryo(internetDateFormatter.parse(s)) or
tryo(dateFormatter.parse(s))
case o => toDate(o.toString)
}
} catch {
case e => Log.debug("Error parsing date "+in, e); Failure("Bad date:
"+in, Full(e), Empty)
}
}
Is it not working for you?
