To: "rules-users" <rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Date: Wednesday, April 1, 2009, 11:11 AM Hi, Friends: I am using Drools 4.0.7. I set the date format as [MMM-dd-yyyy], My machine locale is China, and the language is Chinese. I find that if I have a rule like "when date > Jan-01-2009", drools will throw exception like "Jan-01-2009 does not follow [MMM-dd-yyyy]". But if I change "Jan" to Chinese charactor which is "一月", runtime will be OK. So I think it is a locale/language issue. Is there anyway to set locale/language of drools? That is even if my environment is Chinese, I still can use the English date format? Or is there any other way can help me out? Thanks - Zeke _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users

Hello, the default date format is "dd-MMM-yyyy" if you want to change there is a property to change drools.dateformat you can set it like this System.setProperty( "drools.dateformat", "dd/MM/YYYY" ); you can also set the the next properties like this System.setProperty( "drools.defaultlanguage", "en" ); System.setProperty( "drools.defaultcountry" ,"US" ); that will override the default settings which are "en" and "US" regards Nicolas Héron Le mercredi 01 avril 2009 à 09:33 -0700, Greg Barton a écrit : You would have to set the default Locale of the JRE. Either call Locale.setDefault(Locale.US) (class java.util.Locale) before you parse any dates, or launch java with the user.country property set to US.
