A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
DateTimeFormatter for Netherlands locale is producing dates for format: dd-m-yy, when it should be dd-mm-yyyy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_in_the_Netherlands
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Use the DateTimeFormater to create a SHORT date with the locale nl_NL for the date 16-08-2019 (dd-mm-yyyy)
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
"16-08-2019"
ACTUAL -
"16-8-19"
---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.format.FormatStyle;
import java.util.Locale;
class Scratch {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Locale netherlandsLocale = new Locale("nl", "NL");
final String dateString = DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.SHORT)
.withLocale(netherlandsLocale)
.format(LocalDate.of(2019, 8, 16));
System.out.println("Date strings match: " + dateString.equals("16-08-2019"));
}
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Format the string yourself when you see an NL locale
