NSTimestampFormatter and the GMT offset


  • Subject: NSTimestampFormatter and the GMT offset
  • From: Pascal Robert <email@hidden>

I need to send dates from a Dojo app to an ERRest service. Dates constructed by Dojo are like this :
  2010-03-30T11:44:34-04:00

They are constructed by toISOString (http://api.dojotoolkit.org/jsdoc/1.2/dojo.date.stamp.toISOString). So I changed the timestampFormat for ERRest for the following :

  er.rest.timestampFormat = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z

But I keep getting :

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to parse '2010-03-30T11:44:34-04:00' as a timestamp (example: 2010-03-30T11:45:00Z).
at er.rest.ERXRestUtils.coerceValueToTypeNamed(ERXRestUtils.java:196)
at er.rest.ERXRestUtils.coerceValueToAttributeType(ERXRestUtils.java:279)
... 15 more
Caused by: java.text.ParseException: Format.parseObject(String) failed
at java.text.Format.parseObject(Format.java:221)
at er.rest.ERXRestUtils.coerceValueToTypeNamed(ERXRestUtils.java:187)
... 16 more 

And it look like the problem is with the "%z" string, if I don't use the GMT offset (so the string ends with "Z" instead of "-04:00"), I don't have this problem. Problem is, I really need the offset. I searched the list and it look like it's a bug with NSTimestampFormatter. I guess one of the solutions would be to use java.util.Date instead of NSTimestamp, but anyone have a better solution?
