org.springframework.format.annotation Documentation Differences

This file contains all the changes in documentation in the package org.springframework.format.annotation as colored differences. Deletions are shown like this, and additions are shown like this.

If no deletions or additions are shown in an entry, the HTML tags will be what has changed. The new HTML tags are shown in the differences. If no documentation existed, and then some was added in a later version, this change is noted in the appropriate class pages of differences, but the change is not shown on this page. Only changes in existing text are shown here. Similarly, documentation which was inherited from another class or interface is not shown here.

Note that an HTML error in the new documentation may cause the display of other documentation changes to be presented incorrectly. For instance, failure to close a <code> tag will cause all subsequent paragraphs to be displayed differently.

Declares that a field should be formatted as a date time. Supports formatting by style pattern, ISO date time pattern, or custom format pattern string. Can be applied to java.util.Date, java.util.Calendar, java.long.Long, or Joda Time fields.

For style-based formatting, set the .style() attribute to be the style pattern code. The first character of the code is the date style, and the second character is the time style. Specify a character of 'S' for short style, 'M' for medium, 'L' for long, and 'F' for full. A date or time may be omitted by specifying the style character '-'.

For ISO-based formatting, set the .iso() attribute to be the desired ISO format, such as ISO.DATE.

For custom formatting, set the .pattern() attribute to be the DateTime pattern, such as yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss a.

Each attribute is mutually exclusive, so only set one attribute per annotation instance (the one most convenient one for your formatting needs). When the pattern attribute is specified, it takes precedence over both the style and ISO attribute. When the iso attribute is specified, if takes precedence over the style attribute. When no annotation attributes are specified, the default format applied is style-based with a style code of 'SS' (short date, short time). @author Keith Donald @author Juergen Hoeller @since 3.0 @see org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormat
