Configuring Date format across a JSF application

Hi,
I know there's a way to use a date-time converter on a Date accessor on a backing bean, such as below..
<h:outputText value="#{bean.dateInstance}">
<f:convertDateTime type="both"/>
</h:outputText>.. but is there a way to format dates consistently across the entire application? Does anybody know what is the default converter for Date's? I haven't done much research into it... I know you can create a custom converter to convert all objects of a certain class, but I assume there's already a default one for Dates that could just be configured to use a certain date pattern?
Thanks in advance,
James

If your script does not have explicit TO_DATE conversions (which it should, by the way), like:
insert into t values (to_date('11/21/2002', 'mm/dd/yyyy'));then you can set the default date format to match the format in your script. So, if your script looks like:
insert into t values ('11/21/2002');then:
alter session set nls_date_format = 'mm/dd/yyyy';prior to running the script.

Independently configure date format for XML/JSON serialization

How do I configure the date format independently for each of my date fields?
For example, let's say I have a CustomerOrder class with more than 1 java.util.Date fields in it.
I need to be able to render like this:
<customerOrder>
<orderDate>2013-01-04T20:50:42.769Z</orderDate>
<user>Bob</lastUpdateUser>
<state>CO</state>
<estShipDate>2013-01-04</estShipDate>
</customerOrder>
So one of the dates may not care about the hh:mm:ss.
i.e. I cannot format every date the same way.
Any ideas?
This is my technology stack:
- Tomcat 7
- Jersey 1.16
- Enunciate 1.26.2
- Spring 3.1.2
- Hibernate 4.1.7
- JPA 2.0.3

Otis,
A "java.sql.Date" contains only a date, whereas a "java.sql.Timestamp" contains both date and time. So retrieve the data (from the database) as a "Timestamp" and not as a "Date".
Perhaps if you'd care to post the relevant part of your code and show what you are getting and what you want to get, I may be able to help you further.
Here's a small (uncompiled and untested) example:
Connection conn = // However you get it.
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select sysdate from dual");
if (rs.next()) {
Timestamp ts = rs.getTimestamp(1);
}Good Luck,
Avi.

Configuring date format in Oracle 8.1.7

I have just unloaded records from tables into an sql script file with insert statements. However, the date format for the records that I have unloaded is MM/DD/YYYY. When I try to run this sql script, oracle gives an error, saying it's not a valid month.
Oracle date format is DD-MMM-YY. How can I change the date format in oracle, so that I could insert these records in?

If your script does not have explicit TO_DATE conversions (which it should, by the way), like:
insert into t values (to_date('11/21/2002', 'mm/dd/yyyy'));then you can set the default date format to match the format in your script. So, if your script looks like:

Date format in planning application

Hi,
By default, the date format of a planning application is MM-DD-YY. In my application I change it to DD-MM-YY. But till now, when I am trying to enter a date in a data form of this application, also the date format is MM-DD-YY.
I want to change the date format. Can you please help me?
Thanks,
Arijit

Thanks KP for your reply but it didn't work.
I had logged into the workspace with the id with which the application was created. Then I changed the date format redeployed it and restarted the services yet in the form where I am trying to enter the date in the desired format its not allowing me to do so and the default date format is being displayed...
Can you please suggest where I am exactly going wrong?

Date Formats in Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service

Can someone tell me what determines the Date format that appears on Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service ?
*1.* In Oracle HRMS,all dates i see on the Forms are of the Format "MM/DD/YYYY" but my NLS Parameters are not in this format .I'm giving the results for the NLS parameters below.I thought the date formats are determined by the NLS format.Is there something else that determines the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms ?
NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :AMERICAN
NLS_LANGUAGE     :AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY     :AMERICA
NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :
NLS_LANGUAGE     :american
NLS_TERRITORY     :america
NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :
NLS_LANGUAGE     :american
NLS_TERRITORY     :america
*2* What about the profile option : ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK ? Does it determine the Date Format for Self Service alone or does it impact the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms and the actual database also ?
*3* If I use a to_date function in ,say, a pl/sql function that i code for some custom requirements,what will be the output of the date format ? Does it take the format given in NLS paramaters or is it determined by anything else?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Thanks for your reply ,but I'm still confused ..
Here are the profile options I'm seeing for one of my instance :
ICX: Date format mask - 12/31/1999
ICX: Date language - American English
ICX: Language - American English
ICX: NLS Sort - BINARY
ICX: Territory - United States
ICX: Numeric characters - NULL
NLS parameters are given in my original email.
In Self Service applications(OAF) ,the date format is appearing in "mm/dd/yyyy" format but when i login to Forms based applications ,I see the date format as "dd-mon-yyyy".What determines this date format ?
How can i make the date format to always return one format everywhere ,be it Self Service (OAF) or Oracle Forms ?
I'm getting date format related errors for my code because of default date formats changing intermittently when i log into Self Service.I want to know if there is anyway to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Af:table filter date format : task-flow navigation issue

hi
When trying to use the date format configured on the Entity Object, with Format Type as Simple Date and Format as "dd-MM-yyyy", there seems to be a problem when using task-flows.
The approach involves an explicitly configured attributeValues binding to use in f:validator and af:convertDateTime components in the af:inputDate in the filter facet, as discussed in the forum thread "af:table filter date format"
at af:table filter date format
I used JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 to create the example application
in http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/TableFilterDateFormatIssueApp-v0.03.zip
- The page filterEmp.jspx shows expected behaviour, the filter uses the configured date format and there is no problem when navigating to another page and back.
see the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/CtQ9rsVFH3k
- The page menuBTFPage.jspx allows for some navigation after using the filter resulting in the filter showing a date in the wrong format, using scenario (sc1)
-- (sc1-a) : run menuBTFPage.jspx
-- (sc1-b) : on "menu-btf : menu", click the "do go-filter-emp-btf" link
-- (sc1-c) : on "filter-emp-btf : filterEmpFragment", filter on HireDate using "10-03-2005"
-- (sc1-d) : click the "do goReturnSuccess" button
-- (sc1-e) : back on "menu-btf : menu", click the "do go-filter-emp-btf" link again
-- (sc1-f) : back on "filter-emp-btf : filterEmpFragment", see the HireDate filter value in the wrong format as "2005-03-10"
-- (sc1-g) : click the "do goReturnSuccess" button again, which results in an error "The date is not in the correct format."
see the screencast at http://www.screencast.com/t/ORHauBd3oQ
questions:
- (q1) Can the behaviour in scenario (sc1) be reproduced?
- (q2) Why is the filter value in the wrong date format in step (sc1-f)?
- (q3) What can be done to have the filter value consistently in the configured date format, so that errors as in step (sc1-g) can be avoided?
many thanks

hi
First a short summary of relevant aspects of service request 3-2190488381:
- development has reviewed bug 10193260
- development identified some code where a pattern was not applied and started fixing the problem
- out of the blue, development asked "Will clearing out the filter field completely when moving out of ataskflow be an acceptable behavior ?"
- I pointed out some concerns (even in a phone call with development), but development did not see any alternative not "perceived to be very risky because of the current design", so the question whether the clearing-all-filter-fields approach would be acceptable became superfluous.
- following this, bug 10193260 suddenly became an enhancement request (for reasons I still don't understand)
- a workaround was suggested (for behaviour not perceived as a bug), "Clearing the search fields during taskflow exit in the backing bean (in the app)." for which I also received a modified version of my example application TableFilterDateFormatIssueApp-v0.04.zip with an implementation of the suggested workaround
As an exercise to try an understand the suggested workaround (an because my example application seemed to have been modified using the currently yet-to-be-released JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0) I re-implemented it in the example application
at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/TableFilterDateFormatIssueApp-v0.05.zip
It has a filter-emp-workaround-btf task-flow with a method-call activity on a managed-bean method, responsible for clearing the search fields, resulting in behaviour where the error "The date is not in the correct format." does not occur,
as can be seen in the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/Nq7TkkRQ
public void clearFilterFields()
    BindingContainer vBindingContainer =
      BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
    DCBindingContainer vDCBindingContainer = (DCBindingContainer)vBindingContainer;
    DCDataControl vDCDataControl = vDCBindingContainer.getDataControl();
    ApplicationModule vApplicationModule = vDCDataControl.getApplicationModule();
    ViewObject vViewObject = vApplicationModule.findViewObject("EmployeesVOVI");
    ViewCriteriaManager vViewCriteriaManager = vViewObject.getViewCriteriaManager();
    vViewCriteriaManager.clearViewCriterias();
    vViewObject.clearCache();
}Because the managed-bean method requires access to the ADF Model binding layer to get to the View Object instance used for the filtered table, the method-call activity has a page element configured in DataBindings.cpx referring to the same usageId as the page element for the page fragment showing the filtered table. So that both the method-call and view activity depend on one and the same Binding Container (e.i. PageDef file).
The method-call activity, responsible for clearing the search fields, would need to be called before each task-flow-return activity.
As there can be multiple view activities with multiple filtered tables in a bounded task-flow, would that result in multiple method-call activities responsible for clearing search fields (all to be called before each task-flow-return activity)?
It looks like a more general/generic approach is desirable for the suggested workaround to be feasible.
- (q5) Does the suggested workaround imply (as bug 10193260 is not a bug) that all bounded task-flows with filtered tables should implement it to avoid errors about formatting?
thanks
Jan

Date format interfering with interactive report

My APEX version is 3.1.1.00.09.
I'm using a method described elsewhere to change the global date format of my application. I have application items for a start and end date. I have two application processes, one for On Load: Before Header, the other for On Submit: After Page Submission - Before Computations and Validations. They both do:
DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS(param => 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT', value => '''fmMM/DD/fmYY''')
Okay, all is well with that, my dates seem to stay the way I want them to. Since our upgrade I'm going through each section of my application and updating as necessary, and I particularly want to use the interactive reports. They work fine when the page is loaded, but if I change any options on the interactive report and submit it, I get an "ORA-01843: not a valid month" error. If I refresh the page, everything works as it should.
What can I do to get around this, or do I have something wrong with my method that is causing this to happen?
Chris

Hi Chris,
I tried to replicate this, but could not. Now granted, I tried this using the new "modern" method of controlling the default application date format via the new application Globalization attribute "Application Date Format". I set the Application Date Format to fmMM/DD/fmYY and my IR on EMP worked just fine.
If you can replicate this on apex.oracle.com (using Application Date Format), I'd be happy to take a look at it.

WCS showing mm/dd/yyyy date format in UK

WCS is showing dates in mm/dd/yyyy format despite being in the UK where it should be dd/mm/yyyy.
- Reports show it.
- When a Lobby Ambassador tries to add or schedule a guest user on WCS the date in the 'Start Time' and 'End Time' fields is shown in mm/dd/yyyy format (and is confusing for reception/admin staff who need to use it).
WCS is installed on a Windows 2003 server with latest updates and patches and all regional/international options are set to UK.
Is this something that can be changed from WCS settings or something that needs diving into Apache to fix ?
Regards,
Jen.

Hi Jeniffer,
Basically the WCS uses U.S date format all over the
application.. the time in WCS is synchronized with the
server however the way we have designed and programmed WCS for date format
is in U.S fashion which is mm/dd/yyyy. This is the behaviour that WCS
has since day one and this date format cannot be customized.

Product Enhancement Request (PER)..
this will help you!! lemme know if this naswered ur question!!

Changing Date format from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY

Hello all,
          We have upgraded our portal system from EP 6.0 to EP 7.0 . Before upgrade the portal date format was in DD/MM/YYYY format but after upgrade it has changed to MM/DD/YYYY.
          We changed the request.mandatoryCountry and Request.mandatoryLanguage parameters as GB and EN respectively .
After this change the standard portal iview start showing date in DD/MM/YYYY format but custom web dynpro applications are still displaying date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
        Please suggest how can we change the date format for custom dynpro applications too.
Regards,
Ganesh

Ganesh,
You might find [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/d95664da179b4db731e21c2e470b72/frameset.htm] link helpful in understanding how the locale is determined for a user who logs into the portal.
Similar discussions are on the following threads
1 - date format
2 - internationalization problem - default language of wd in portal
A snippet from the above thread,
1) Language indicator of the user (Example: Language not set in portal)
2) Language preference of the browser (Example: fr - Resource doesn't exists)
3) Language indicator of the Web Dynpro Application
4) Language preference of the system
5) Language preference of the JVM
Hope it helps.
Good Luck!!!

Change the locale Date Format

Hi,
By default the date formats in web dynpro applications changes with the locale. For the locale US, the date format comes with the seperator '/ ' for German with '.'.
But we need to have the seperator '.' for all locales. Where can this standard setting be changed?

Getting SAP user Date format

Hi All,
I have a webdynpro java application which i am using in ISA B2B. I need to show a date format of the backend user. Is there any way where i can fetch the SAP backend user date format in webdynpro java application using API. Kindly suggest me an idea on this?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Saravanan,
You need to fetch data through RFC function module in webdynpro. You need costom build functiona module for user information.

How to do Regional Setting Configuration in RDP session ( Eg Date Format, Currency, Decimal Seperator etc)

Hi All,
I am new to Windows Server 2008 R2 administration.
I would like to know is there a way to do Regional Setting Configuration in RDP session. i.e Date Format, Currency, Decimal Separator etc are based on users local machine.
Eg If a user from UK logs in he should see date format as DD/MM/YY and if user from US logs in he should date format as MM/DD/YY.
We are currently using citrix and we are managing this using logon script that runs based on citrix published application name.
Is there any way we can achieve the same in RDP ?
Thanks in Advance.
