Date Format in ADF BC + Customization + JDev 10.1.3.3

Hi,
Currently we are specifying the date format in ADF BC EO component as MM/dd/yyyy for each attribute which is taking too much time.Specially when we do regionwide deployment of application where date format very specific,then again we need to go to each component and change the format which is nothing but re doing the same work
Is there common place I can specify the default date format is MM/dd/yyyy for the attributes which has type of date irrespctive of the EO.?
please advice.
thx

Not that I know in ADF BC
JHeadstart allows it by specifying the Date format in one file "dateformat.properties" where you can specify date formats common to all Date and DateTime attributes in an application:
dateclass=java.sql.Date
datetimeclass=java.sql.Timestamp
datepattern=dd/MM/yyyy
datetimepattern=dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mmRegards,
Didier.

Default Date Format in ADF 11g RC

Dear All,
I am searching for a possibility to set a default date format pattern ("yyyy-MMM-dd") in an ADF 11g RC application.
I know that I can set this format in every entity/view object's attributes. But I am looking for a central way.
I already tried to override the javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter and configured it in the faces-config.xml.
But without success.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
in another post of yours I pointed you to the trinidad-config.xml file - so you may want to have a look there. Also maybe property sets can give you a helping hand

Date Format in ADF

How can i set Date format for Input Date Field in ADF ,I am using JDeveloper 11

You can try using a domain for all your date fields.
I'm not sure how to wire up this in the UI but I guess it's possible.
If you just want the format the UI part for all dates, you can use a converter for every dte files and read the pattern for the converter from a bean via EL.

Can I customize the date format?

When importing camera raw files, I am able to select mmm/dd/yyyy as an option in the photo downloader. Once the files are in Bridge, if I want to batch rename, the date option does not include mmm(the month spelled out instead of numeric). Is there a way to customize the date format in the batch rename menu?
Thank you

You can always include it in the name if you select Text.

How to customize the cell date format

Trying out the trial version of Numbers....
I would like to customize the cell date format. The inspector gives you several choices for date formats but I would like something different and wish to customize my own - just like in Excel.
I don't see a way to do this. Are we limited to only those date formats provided by Numbers?
Is there some other way to do this?

I found a way to do this, but not in Numbers. Note that it is probably not for those who are squeamish about editing configuration files, and could probably break something if done incorrectly:
1. Right click on the Numbers application icon and choose "Show Package Contents".
2. Type "date" into the spotlight window and click on the DateTimeFormats folder or drill down to Contents/Frameworks/SFUtility.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DateTimeFormats.
3. Right click on en_US.plist or your language's plist file and click Duplicate to make a backup. (Just rename the backup if you damage something).
4. Open en_US.plist or your language's plist file with a property list editor. I use Property List Editor from the Apple Developer Tools, but I think Pref Setter is also easy to use.
5. Open AcceptedDateFormats and check if your desired format is there. If not, add a string key with the desired format.
6. Open DisplayedDateFormats and add a string key in the format you want it displayed.
7. Save the plist file.
8. Restart Numbers.
9. Your desired date format should appear in the list of formatting choices.
If you're opening up plist files and editing them, I'm hoping the date format conventions are familiar. If not, cross reference them to the list of already coded date formats in the date format inspector to get the hang of it.

ADF DVT's time Axis Date Format

Hi, I've been working with DVT line graph and bar graph.
Was able to display details and apply time selector.
The details that can be displayed in the graph is dynamic, meaning the number of bars or columns that will be displayed in the graph can be smaller or bigger.
I just noticed that the Date Format that appears in the X-Axis is not consistent, sometimes is display the dates as day (01, 02, 03.. etc.) then month under it.
but sometimes the format is "mm/dd/yy". Is there a way to make the date format consistent?
Thanks.

Date format error in LOV with dates. Jdeveloper 11.1.1.0.1

We're facing a silly problem, which no one else seems to have... ?
When creating a LOV on a date column (eg hr.employees.hiredate) populated from another DataSource (eg. hr.job_history.startDate), the Application Module is working fine when tested.
Building a jspx on top of the Datacontrol picks up the LOV defined and creates a SelectOneChoice for hiredate. But for what ever value you select, it will complain about wrong date format "Error: The date is not in the correct format".
I can see, that the "real" value selected from the SelectOneChoice is an index-value, and the "format checking code" builtin to Jdeveloper can't figure out how to get the datevalue for the selected index.
Surely it must be me, who can't see the forest for the trees?
Thanks in advance :)

Its a bit tricky - but its doable... We have to abandon the "Oracle LOV model" to make it work.
Surely its must be some kind of bug in the Oracle LOV model? ?
The way to do it is like:
In Model project:
M1: Remove List Of Value binding from Model layer (Business components). Both entity and view if declared both.
M2: Create a view for the "date list" - ie the datasource for possible values in list.
M3: Secure that format mask (hint) for all dates involved are the same.
In View project:
V1: Drop datacontrol on jspx as normal input dates.
V2:Go to bindings for the page, and add (+) a new TABLE binding (And from here an iterator) to the view containing the list.
Modify the input dates you want to be list:
V3: Select the input date and rightclick and choose "convert"
V4: Select a SelectOneChoice component
V5: Pick the right column (tree) value to show in the SelectOneChoice componet.
Switch to source view:
V6: Drop a ForEach item from the component Palette (ADF Faces -> operations) on the SelectOneChoice (easiest to drop in structure windows)
V7: Drop a Select Item from the component Palette (ADF Faces -> common components) on the SelectOneChoice (easiest to drop in structure window).
Modify the source:
V8: Insert "items" and "var" attributes in ForEach like this: +"items="#{bindings.[[Here goes the name of the New TableBinding component you made in Step V2]].rangeSet}" var="li"+
V9: Insert "value" attribute and change "label" attribute to reference your new list variable "li" like this: +label="#{li.[[here goes the name of the new TableBinding Component attribute (columnname) you made in Step V2]]}" value="#{li.Firstofmonth}"+
V10: Insert/edit any converters/validators needed for input validation.
Done....
You should end up with a SelectOnChoice definition (in your jspx file) something like this one:
+<af:selectOneChoice value="#{row.bindings.ActiveFrom.inputValue}"+
+label="#{row.bindings.ActiveFrom.label}"+
+required="#{bindings.McAccountsView1.hints.ActiveFrom.mandatory}"+
+shortDesc="#{bindings.McAccountsView1.hints.ActiveFrom.tooltip}">+
+<af:forEach items="#{bindings.FirstOfMonth1.rangeSet}" var="li">+
+<af:selectItem label="#{li.Firstofmonth}" value="#{li.Firstofmonth}" />+
+</af:forEach>+
+<af:convertDateTime pattern="dd-MM-yyyy"+
+messageDetailConvertDate="Its not possible to convert the date in {0} since its value {1} dont conform to the pattern {2}"+
+secondaryPattern="yyyy-MM-dd"/>+
+</af:selectOneChoice>+
And a binding definition (in your pagedef file) something like this one:
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>+
+<pageDefinition xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/uimodel"+
+version="11.1.1.52.5" id="McAccounts01PageDef"+

this approach works... But... Its important to remember that the "two" values are different now. The value in the row, and the possible value from the list. When you select a new value for the row from the list, you'll have to commit the value before its in the row - even seen from Faces. You can't reference the value in the base table in a validator before the row is committed.
For the same reason I'll advise, that you only use the model in Single row view, since its can behave a bit funny in table views, where there's a lot of PPR.

Problem with date format "dd-MM-yyyy"

hi all,
i am using jdev 10.1.3.2
My application ADF Swing app.
in my database i have a table employee which contains "birthday".
my problem is that i must use date format"dd-MM-yyyy".
i added this format into "formatinfo.xml" file.
than i choose it in my EO.
i create a form which contains employees.
for example i have an employee with a birthday=25-10-1970
in my text field if user puts "1970-10-25"'which is not the best format) he will have a correct result "25-10-1970"
but if user puts "25-10-1970" he will have as result "21-02-0031" which is not the real value.
please help me.
thanks.
PS: i did some research before posting but i didn't find yet

Rouz,
Did you try what i said before?
* Open you EntityObject
* Expand the attribute tree
* Choose your DOB attribute
* Choose the Control hints pane on the right
* Choose Formater: Simple date format
* Choose Format mask dd-MM-yyyy
Run your application and try it.
This is how i change the format and it works perfectly.
I uses the correct format to show the date and it enables me to edit the date using the format mask dd-MM-yyyy
Edit: I just tried it myself. I can only reproduce it by removing my mask. Ergo, the application expects the default american format yyyy-MM-dd. By entering a date in the format dd-MM-yyyy the framework will convert it to yyyy-MM-dd and you'll end up with 0031-02-21.
CONCLUSION follow the steps i discribed above to set your mask and you'll be fine.

Hi,
you can use SimpleDateFormat to parse Date objects to formatted Strings
SimpleDateFormat (Java Platform SE 7 )
Note that dependent in your Date type you may deal with Date or SQL Date in ADF BC. SqlDate woild need to be converted to Date first and then parsed into a formatted String. I suggest you Google for SimpleDateFormat examples

OAF changes Date Format

Hi
I need to store a date into a flexfield. We have enabled the Flexfield and there is NO value set attached to it.
This attribute is already in the VO as a varchar, so we have just added a new column into the page as data type Date and link it to the flexfield column.
In this page we have a table layout so the user can enter 10 rows before saving them. And this page it just used to punch data into a table, which means, once the user press apply the page saves and clears. The user can not query on that page.
When entering the first row, we can open the Date picker and we can choose the date and then it populates the column as “DD-MON-YYYY”.
The problem is:
When we entering the second row after entering one column the pages changes the format of my date from the previous record to “YYYY-MM-DD”, then after entering any second column the pages clear the date from the previous row.
Running the page from JDev it shows the following message before clears the flexfield:
java.text.ParseException: 2011-01-28
Note we have not extended the VO and not extended the controller.
My questions are:
1) Why the Self-Service is change the date format to YYYY-MM-DD even if the profile ICX: Date Format Mask (31-DEC-1999) and my preference is set to DD-MON-YYYY?
2) How can I avoid this to happen? Is there any way to keep my date as DD-MON-YYYY?
Thanks,
Alex

How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?

Hello guys,
Very embarassing question, because I've had Apple's for all of my life (starting with the original Apple Macintosh) but I still haven't figured out one thing
How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?
When I go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats I can set different formats. I have no idea where you will see these, but I know that it's not the top bar where the time and date is being displayed. Because no matter what I enter, the format in the top bar will stay the same. I can only choose things like 24-Hour clock or not, blinking dots and so on in the Time & Date settings from the System Preferences.
Can anyone here point me in the right direction? I see you can even choose to display the week of the year - I'd love to do that!
All help appreciated!
Greetings

Language & Text system preferences, Formats tab, customize dates.
There are also many third party menu item utilities that can. Search Macupdate.com for some.
One search yielded iClock Pro. Although I never used it I would think it allows customization. The link I gave you is to the Macupdate download page for that app. On that same page is a Similar Software section which has other apps that can do the same thing.
One listed is iStat Menus. The primary use for iStat Menus is not for displaying date/time but it does do that. And I know it can do what you want because I use iStat Menus to track temperature sensors n my machine and, like you, I want to customize the menu time/date. So I use it instead of the apple clock. It does have the customization features I think you are looking for.

How to change the date format from default to mm-dd-yyyy?

Hi,
There is a requirement to show the current date in an error message at the attribute level. That is, if the user input a date in a text field that is earlier than today's date, then an error message must immediately pop up with today's date in the message. To achieve this we are using a token expression in the EO ( Under Validation rules) . The token expression uses adf.currentDate to get today's date.
The problem is that the expression extracts the date in the form of yyyy-mm-dd. What expression should I use to get the current date format in mm/dd/yyyy ? Can I modify the adf.currentDate expression in some way to get the desired format?
Thanks,
Anand

You could write a custom EO method to return today's date in the specific format. Then access it via the Groovy adf.object expression.

To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.
To change how time is shown in the menu bar, select the “Time format” checkbox in Language & Region preferences, or select the option in Date & Time preferences.
Here's the result AppleScript i use to grab the " 'Short Date' ' + ' 'Short Time' " to paste into download filenames - works good until I try to post it here - the colon " : " is a no-no but is fine in the Finder
Looks like iOS Settings are a bit less robust
- Date/Time formats are displayed according to 'tradition' of your region > http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPad245ed123
