Few findings:
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/type-conversion.html
at section "Built in Type Conversion Support" documentation says:
XWork will automatically handle the most common type conversion for
you. This includes support for converting to and from Strings for each
of the following:
.........
-> dates - uses the SHORT format for the Locale associated with the
current request
.........
But I haven't tried yet to utilize this feature.
This is what worked for me:
What I've done was to create custom type conversion class
-------------------------------
public class ShortDateConverter extends StrutsTypeConverter {
public final static String pattern = "dd.MM.yyyy";
private final static SimpleDateFormat format = new
SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
public Object convertFromString(Map context, String[] values, Class
toClass) {
Date result = null;
if (values != null && values.length > 0) {
try {
result = format.parse(values[0]);
} catch (ParseException e) {
throw new TypeConversionException("Error
converting date from '" +
values[0] + "', pattern: '" + pattern + "'");
}
}
return result;
}
public String convertToString(Map context, Object o) {
return null;
}
}
and applied it to the setter method within my action class:
(it worked well both using annotation and
<action_class_name>-conversion.properties file)
-----------------
@TypeConversion (type=ConversionType.CLASS,
converter="test.ShortDateConverter")
public void setADate(Date date) {
...............
Though it would be even elegant enough solution if I was able to refer
to the static pattern String in the .jsp like that
<s:datetimepicker displayFormat="<%=ShortDateConverter.pattern%>"/>
But I got exception:
According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute
displayFormat does not accept any expressions
I hope these findings will help someone else.
