Class IsoDateFormat

java.lang.Object

java.text.Format

java.text.DateFormat

java.text.SimpleDateFormat

alma.acs.util.IsoDateFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class IsoDateFormat
extends java.text.SimpleDateFormat

ISO 8601 date format.

http://jira.alma.cl/browse/COMP-1929 made it clear that we use the same format string all over ACS, and that there should be this class to encapsulate it.

No trailing 'Z' is assumed or used to define a reference to UTC time, which means that all timestamps are interpreted as referencing local time. In Alma for example all computers are set to UTC so that local time is always UTC.
