---------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Default date type as setting
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: FREEMARKER-31
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-31
> Project: Apache Freemarker
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: engine
> Reporter: Michał Sobkiewicz
>
> To set default date type, one have to use
> {{freemarker.ext.beans.BeansWrapperConfiguration#setDefaultDateType(int)}} or
> {{freemarker.ext.beans.BeansWrapper#setDefaultDateType(int)}}. It would be
> convenient to set {{defaultDateType}} by using property.
> {{freemarker.core.Configurable#setSetting(String,String)}} recognises date,
> time and number formats. It even lets you choose object wrapper! At the same
> time you can't specify how to deal with not-so-exotic {{java.util.Date}}.
> I'd like to set default date type just as I can set exception handling. I
> know that {{defaultDateType}} attribute would have to be moved to
> {{freemarker.template.Configuration}}, but I'm convinced that this is the
> right thing to do.
> If it makes sense to talk about "default date type" (which seems to be true
> as {{defaultDateType}} property already exists), it may be also valid to
> expect a little more accessible way to set this up. With no customized bean
> wrapper, without adding a bit redundant "?date" after each... well.. date,
> you end up with
> {{freemarker.core.UnknownDateTypeFormattingUnsupportedException}}.
> Sample settings below:
> {quote}
> locale=en_US
> dateFormat=yyyy-MM-dd
> numberFormat=0.00
> logTemplateExceptions=false
> templateExceptionHandler=rethrow
> defaultDateType=date
> {quote}
> I truly believe that the last one should be supported.
