[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-4253) xls-format-mask doesnt support dates with spaces

[Nicklas Karlsson (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4253?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12472634#action_12472634 ] 

Nicklas Karlsson commented on JBSEAM-4253:
------------------------------------------

If you are interested in the issue, you could debug what fails in the parsing since PropertyBuilders.FormatMask extends MergingStringPropertyBuilder which takes the parts (which in this case should be "M", "dd," and "YYYY" and implodes them with a space back to "M dd, YYYY". 

So if there are more complex usecases, sure, there could be a more complex property builder using regexps etc but just for avoiding the "spaces in value"-case, MergingStringPropertyBuilder should technically work...

> If I write:
>   <e:cell column="0" row="0" value="#{commitService.date}" style="xls-format-mask: M dd, YYYY"/>
> only "M" is used as the format mask.
> This reminds me of JBSEAM-3839.
