This is neither simple nor clever, but it's one way:
public class WicketDateConverter implements IConverter {
private SimpleDateFormat format;
public WicketDateConverter(String formatStr) {
format = new SimpleDateFormat(formatStr);
}
public Object convert(Object value, Class c) {
if (value instanceof Calendar) value = ((Calendar)
value).getTime();
return value == null || value.equals("") ? "" :
format.format(value);
}
public Locale getLocale() {
return Locale.getDefault();
}
public void setLocale(Locale locale) {
// won't be paying attention to this anyway
}
}
Then, in a Page or Panel where you need to display a date,
// if you want to use it in several places on a page
private final WicketDateConverter dateAndTime = new
WicketDateConverter("MMM d, h:mm a");
And for the actual Label:
add(new Label("time") {
public IConverter getConverter() {
return dateAndTime;
}
});
All of this is certifiably nuts, but it's the only way I've found to
crank out dates in whatever format I want for a certain Label. You could
also subclass Label as SimpleDateLabel to avoid having to override
getConverter all the time. Guess I didn't bother that because I figure
the API develop a better way eventually.
