I would like to format MappedDateTime objects just like it is done in java:
val sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z")
sdf.format((new Date()))
How is it done with MappedDateTime in lift?
As MappedDateTime is a container for a Java
Date, then you can just use tools of Java for dates. However, when reading the liftweb api forMappedDateTime, there are the following methods which can help you:def format (d: Date): String: This method defines the string parsing semantics of this field
def parse (s: String): Box[Date]: This method defines the string parsing semantics of this field.
So, you can override those methods if you want to change their behavior.
