public AliasTemplateDateFormatFactory(String defaultTargetFormatString, Map<Locale,String> localizedTargetFormatStrings)- Parameters:
defaultTargetFormatString- The format string this format will be an alias to if there's no locale-specific format string for the requested locale inlocalizedTargetFormatStringslocalizedTargetFormatStrings- MapsLocale-s to format strings. If the desired locale doesn't occur in the map, a less specific locale is tried, repeatedly until only the language part remains. For example, if locale isnew Locale("en", "US", "Linux"), then these keys will be attempted untol a match is found, in this order:new Locale("en", "US", "Linux"),new Locale("en", "US"),new Locale("en"). If there's still no matching key, the value of thetargetFormatStringwill be used.

public TemplateDateFormat get(String params, int dateType, Locale locale, TimeZone timeZone, boolean zonelessInput, Environment env) throws TemplateValueFormatExceptionDescription copied from class:TemplateDateFormatFactoryReturns a formatter for the given parameters.The returned formatter can be a new instance or a reused (cached) instance. Note that
Environmentitself caches the returned instances, though that cache is lost with theEnvironment(i.e., when the top-level template execution ends), also it might flushes lot of entries if the locale or time zone is changed during template execution. So caching on the factory level is still useful, unless creating the formatters is sufficiently cheap.- Specified by:
getin classTemplateDateFormatFactory- Parameters:
params- The string that further describes how the format should look. For example, when thedateFormatis"@fooBar 1, 2", then it will be"1, 2"(and"@fooBar"selects the factory). The format of this string is up to theTemplateDateFormatFactoryimplementation. Notnull, often an empty string.dateType-TemplateDateModel.DATE,TemplateDateModel.TIME,TemplateDateModel.DATETIMEorTemplateDateModel.UNKNOWN. SupportingTemplateDateModel.UNKNOWNis not necessary, in which case the method should throw anUnknownDateTypeFormattingUnsupportedExceptionexception.locale- The locale to format for. Notnull. The resulting format should be bound to this locale forever (i.e. locale changes in theEnvironmentmust not be followed).timeZone- The time zone to format for. Notnull. The resulting format must be bound to this time zone forever (i.e. time zone changes in theEnvironmentmust not be followed).zonelessInput- Indicates that the input JavaDateis not from a time zone aware source. When this istrue, the formatters shouldn't override the time zone provided to its constructor (most formatters don't do that anyway), and it shouldn't show the time zone, if it can hide it (like aSimpleDateFormatpattern-based formatter may can't do that, as the pattern prescribes what to show).As of FreeMarker 2.3.21, this is
trueexactly when the date is an SQL "date without time of the day" (i.e., ajava.sql.Date) or an SQL "time of the day" value (i.e., ajava.sql.Time, although this rule can change in future, depending on configuration settings and such, so you shouldn't rely on this rule, just accept what this parameter says.env- The runtime environment from which the formatting was called. This is mostly meant to be used forEnvironment.setCustomState(Object, Object)/Environment.getCustomState(Object).- Throws:
TemplateValueFormatException- If any problem occurs while parsing/getting the format. Notable subclasses:InvalidFormatParametersExceptionifparamsis malformed;UnknownDateTypeFormattingUnsupportedExceptionifdateTypeisTemplateDateModel.UNKNOWNand that's unsupported by this factory.
