[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-2981) Add a date format attribute to the list-log-files operation

[Stan Silvert (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2981?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12946573#comment-12946573 ] 

Stan Silvert commented on WFLY-2981:
------------------------------------

Looking at SimpleDateFormat, I do have the option of parsing the date back out.  So I could pass in a format String that includes everything but the kitchen sink, then parse the string that comes back to get a Date object.

But that technique seems error-prone and non-obvious.

Instead of my earlier suggestion to have two fields, why don't we put a flag on the operation called, "format-date", with a default value of true.  That way, the default can be human-readable, but if you need the date as a Long then the operation can give it to you that way.

> The {{list-log-files}} operation outputs the last modified date of the available log files. The current date format is {{yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ}}, but it could be useful for the operation to allow any valid {{SimpleDateFormat}} to be used.
