Pattern format ignored on textfield using joda.time value

[eddie_4]

I previously had an issue of how to stop local timezone conversion for DOB fields.  User darth_fader provided a quick and simple solution.  However, now the textfield pattern is being ignored.   I have MM/dd/yyyy for the pattern but the report is formatting as yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00.

 

<textField pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" isBlankWhenNull="true">    <reportElement x="123" y="0" width="88" height="20" uuid="40bfec19-25c5-4807-801f-464034799729"/>    <textElement>     <font fontName="Arial" isBold="false"/>    </textElement>    <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[new org.joda.time.DateTime($F{dob}).withZone(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.forID("UTC"))]]></textFieldExpression>   </textField>[/code]

Put this in your text field expression:

 

org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormat.forPattern("MM/dd/yyyy").print(new org.joda.time.DateTime($F{dob}).withZone(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.forID("UTC")))

 

There may be a way to preserve the format attribute on the text field tag, if that's a necessity let me know
