[MOBY-dev] MobyDateTime.FULL_FORMAT problem in jMoby

[Iván Párraga García]

Hi,

As long as I understand, the static constant attribute in class
MobyDateTime.FULL_FORMAT should be used to construct the
SimpleDateFormat to use it to format dates. Something like this:

...
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
...
Date now = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(MobyDateTime.FULL_FORMAT);
sdf.format( now );
...

But this produces an exception when trying to build the
SimpleDateFormat. I've inspected the content of the constant and it is
like this:

"yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss\'Z\'Z"

Instead of it I used the following (I know I'm losing some precision)
and it worked:

"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"

Cheers,
