Hi
It is nothing about date picker tag. You can have a Converter to convert
String to Date and vice versa.
Below is my implementation for your reference:
(For DateUtil, please replace with yours)
public class DateConverter extends StrutsTypeConverter {
private static final String PATTERN = DateUtil.PATTERN_YYYY_MM_DD;
@Override
/**
* Converts one or more String values to the specified class.
*
* @param context the action context
* @param values the String values to be converted, such as those
submitted from an HTML form
* @param toClass the class to convert to
* @return the converted object
*/
public Object convertFromString(Map context, String[] values, Class
toClass) {
Date returnObject = null;
String value = values[0];
if (value != null && !value.trim().equals("")) {
try {
returnObject = DateUtil.parseDate(value, PATTERN);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// Just to ignore the parse exception
}
}
return returnObject;
}
@Override
/**
* Converts the specified object to a String.
*
* @param context the action context
* @param o the object to be converted
* @return the converted String
*/
public String convertToString(Map context, Object o) {
Date date = (Date) o;
String formatedDate = DateUtil.dateFormater(date, PATTERN);
return formatedDate;
}
}
