Collections, getString(<date_att>) returning the wrong date Format in WDK 5.3 SP4

Hi,

Let me explain:

We recently moved a application that was in WebSphere 5.x/Windows to a new Linux/JBOSS 4.0.5 and the application is showing the dates in a wrong format.

The version of the application and content is 5.3 SP4.

The application gets the dates from a collection as a getString and in windows the dates come the correct way, but on the jboss/linux the dates are not right.

What we've done so far:

We changed the LANG of the server.

We added parameters to the JVM of JBOSS with the appropriate locale.

The locale is pt_PT but the dates from the collections are coming in the USA pattern: MM/dd/yyyy

What could cause this behavior?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

Rodrigo

PS: If i do the query directly on a datagrid, the format of the date is correct.

Only in the collections the date comes wrong.

Thanks again.

Why don't you use getTime instead of getString? Possibly getTime does some additional processing and the value is treated as a date value; however, getString returns a string and it doe's not matter whether it is a date or not the result is treated as a string. Maybe, this is the case.

Yes, indeed the code is not correct.

But because we have a time constraint we do not have the chance to change all the code that has the glitch.

The dmcl.ini entry client_date_format="dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss" worked fine.

Thanks for the reply.

Best regards,
