[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-44?page=all ]
Tim Colson moved VELOCITY-213 to VELTOOLS-44:
---------------------------------------------
Project: VelocityTools (was: Velocity)
Key: VELTOOLS-44 (was: VELOCITY-213)
Component: (was: Tools)
Version: (was: 1.0-Release)
> add DateTool support for Locale-sensitive formatting
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: VELTOOLS-44
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-44
> Project: VelocityTools
> Type: Improvement
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
> Reporter: Paul Barry
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: LocaleDateFormatting.patch
>
> No way (that I could find) to print dates and times in a Locale sensitive way.
> In other words, US users see 12/31/03 and others see 31/12/03, and for month
> names the correct language should be displayed. Similarly 12 or 24 hour time
> formats differ around the world.
> I've got a patch that adds some simple DateFormat stuff to the DateTool to get
> an appropriate instance, and print using Locale and TimeZone. Very loosly
> modelled on the Cocoon formatter, passing in "short", "medium", "long" or
> "full".
> Example usage from my app, where I've got a user bean in scope that stores an
> appropriate Locale and TimeZone for each user.
> $date.formatDate('medium',$lastReadTime,$user.locale,$user.timeZone)
