[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-623) <s:selectDate> localization

[Kasper Sø￸rensen (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-623?page=all ]

Kasper Sø￸rensen updated JBSEAM-623:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: selectDate-dateFormat-patch.txt

Oh I wasn't under the impression that anybody else was working on this so I went ahead and made another solution.
My solution includes revisions of both the javascript and the SelectItem component.
I've added a "dateFormat"-parameter to the SelectDate component which is able to take the same date-patterns as the convertDateTime - as far as I know. I've tested with various seperators and formats on both Firefox and IE and it works like a charm.

> Currently <s:selectDate> is not locale-aware. This affects day names, month names, buttons as well as the date string written to the text field via JavaScript.
> selectdate-localization-patch.txt is a first step to improve this.
> Changes include:
> - Weekends use a distinct CSS style and can be highlighted if desired. (I've changed the booking example to demonstrate this).
> - The first day of the week is no longer harcoded to Sunday, but calculated according to the current locale settings (e.g. Monday for German).
> - Day and month names are localised as well.
> Open issues:
> - Weekends are hardcoded to Saturday and Sunday. I have no idea how determine this info using Calendar, &c. APIs.
> - Date formats are not kept in sync between JSF and JavaScript, which always uses MM/DD/YYYY, regardless of the locale.
> - Button names ("close", "this month") are still hardcoded.
> - It might be more flexible, to translate day / month names with the application ResourceBundle instead of using DateFormatSymbols.
