Class DatePropertyFormat

java.lang.Object
  org.progeeks.meta.format.AbstractPropertyFormat
      org.progeeks.meta.format.DatePropertyFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

PropertyFormat

public class DatePropertyFormat
extends AbstractPropertyFormat

PropertyFormat implementation that uses a SimpleDateFormat to convert java.util.Date objects (and their subclasses) to a consistent date string. Note that the use of SimpleDateFormat instances by this class is not synchronized, so users of this class must synchronize themselves if the DatePropertyFormat will be accessed by multiple threads. Defaults to the format: 2001-02-28 13:45:01
