Convert Date attributes to JalaliDate

[alibehzadian]

Hi there,

I am developing a Persian-language site with AppFuse Struts 2 Archetype.
In web tier, users enter Jalali date but I want to convert these jalali dates
to Gregorian date (java.util.Date) before saving them in database.

I have the algorithm and libraries to for conversion. Which classes should I
modify in AppFuse?

Thanks,
Ali Behzadian Nejad.

Hi Ali,

If you just want to convert the dates in the Data Access Object layer I think you just need to translate from Jalali date to Gregorian in your entities' DAO implementation (e.g. CustomerDaoHibernate.java). You may need to implement the methods save to translate from Jalali to Gregorian, and the others (get, getAll, etc) to translate from Gregorian to Jalali. Your entity would have Jalali dates but your database would store Gregorian.

Another option you may want to consider is to implement the translation in your web Actions (the logic that process the web requests). Your entity and database would both have Gregorian dates, and only web forms would use Jalali dates.

Hope that helps,
Pedro Burglin

DateUtil is generally used for Date manipulation. This is available to
you if you've full-sourced your project.

Another option, if you are using Hibernate, is to plug in a custom type in Hibernate that knows what to do. You can take a look at the Hibernate subproject for the Joda-time project for guidance:
