All Implemented Interfaces:

StringConvertor

public class DateTimeStringConvertor

extends DateStringConvertor

String convertor for type DateTime or java.util.Date . Both date and time parts of Date instances are used.

It uses one java.text.DateFormat DateFormat for converting into String and an array of DateFormats for parsing. Parsing formats are successively used to try to parse until one is successful.

Formats are picked up from config (see DefaultScopeConfig for details) or if none in config, the default formatter is:

 DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance()
 

and default parsers are:

 DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance((FULL|LONG|MEDIUM|SHORT),
                                      (FULL|LONG|MEDIUM|SHORT));
 

Note: the default parsing set is initialized during class loading and based on default platform locale. If application uses other locales, there will be need to set parsing objects explicitly.
