Major Description
In Italy Daylight saving time started, in past, at midnight (now 2 AM). See http://www.inrim.it/res/tf/ora_legale_i.shtml
The inputDate component set hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds at zero but for example the 1979-05-27 00:00:00 didn't exist in Italy and then the component throws an exception.
My solution, if can be useful, is edit the source code of class org.apache.myfaces.custom.date.AbstractHtmlInputDate using Calendar.clear(field) instead Calendar.set(field, 0)
// old
if( type.equals("date") ) {
//Reset hour, minute, second and milisecond to type date
tempCalendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
tempCalendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
tempCalendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
tempCalendar.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
return new java.sql.Date(tempCalendar.getTimeInMillis());
}
// new
if( type.equals("date") ) {
//Reset hour, minute, second and milisecond to type date
tempCalendar.clear(Calendar.HOUR);
tempCalendar.clear(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
tempCalendar.clear(Calendar.AM_PM);
tempCalendar.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
tempCalendar.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
tempCalendar.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND);
return new java.sql.Date(tempCalendar.getTimeInMillis());
}
this solution returns the date 1979-05-27 01:00:00 but didn't throws any Exception, i think that this is the correct behavior.
A piece of code to test error with Italy localization is
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Rome"));
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setLenient(Boolean.FALSE);
c.set(Calendar.YEAR, 1979);
c.set(Calendar.MONTH, 4); // May
c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 27);
boolean error = true;
if (error) {
c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
} else {
c.clear(Calendar.HOUR);
c.clear(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
c.clear(Calendar.AM_PM);
c.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
c.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
c.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND);
}
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println(sdf.format(c.getTime()));
