[Rsslibj-developer] GenericRSSWriter: Illegal pattern character 'Z'

[Kaj H. <kaj...@us...>]

Hi!

We get the following exception on channel.getFeed("rdf") when we use 
item.setDcDate:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal pattern character 'Z'


This seems to be a bug in java 1.3.1. We only see this issue on java 
1.3.1, not on 1.4.1.

The problems seems to be sdf2 in src/com/rsslibj/writers/GenericRSSWriter.java

Similar issues are mensioned on f.x. 
<url:http://www.jivesoftware.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=9705&tstart=0> 
and

From 
<url:http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/lang/api/org/apache/commons/lang/time/FastDateFormat.html>:

Java 1.4 introduced a new pattern letter, 'Z', to represent time 
zones in RFC822 format (eg. +0800 or -1100). This pattern letter can 
be used here (on all JDK versions).

Hi again :)

I found a method for returning dates in ISO-8601 format at
<url:http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?thread=439507&forum=1&message=1978495>

I modified GenericRSSWriter.java to use this code and my modified 
version can be found at 
http://folk.uio.no/kajh/tmp/GenericRSSWriter.java.txt

Feel free to include this code in rsslibj (if you think it does what it
should :)

Kaj

Just read your previous three emails.  Thanks for the info.  I will try and
have a look at the specs and your code over the next few days.

Jason
