One of the external APIs we use requires
"YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD"
format to be passed in
XMLGregorianCalendar
object. I am not sure if there is anything in Java that supports "T". I was wondering, if a date can be parsed into above format in Java? An example of a valid date they have provided
is
"2009-07-16T19:20:30-05:00"............
Update:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZZZ");
GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();
String dateString = sdf.format(gc.getTime());
gc.setTime(sdf.parse(dateString));
XMLGregorianCalendar date2 = DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(gc);
Output:
2014-04-17T13:11:30.000+01:00

Date formatting Dates are formatted using the following format: "yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss'Z'" if in UTC or "yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss[+|-]hh:mm" otherwise. On the contrary to the time zone, by default the number of milliseconds is not displayed.
DateTimeFormatter is a replacement for the old SimpleDateFormat that is thread-safe and provides additional functionality.
SimpleDateFormat is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a locale-sensitive manner. It allows for formatting (date -> text), parsing (text -> date), and normalization. SimpleDateFormat allows you to start by choosing any user-defined patterns for date-time formatting.
The java SimpleDateFormat allows construction of arbitrary non-localized formats. The java DateFormat allows construction of three localized formats each for dates and times, via its factory methods.
Yes,you can.Try this date formatter.
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS");
You need to put it in single quotes.
Try
YYYY-mm-dd'T'hh:MM:ssZ
