public class FastDateFormat
extends java.text.Format
FastDateFormat is a fast and thread-safe version of
SimpleDateFormat
.
This class can be used as a direct replacement to
SimpleDateFormat
in most formatting situations.
This class is especially useful in multi-threaded server environments.
SimpleDateFormat
is not thread-safe in any JDK version,
nor will it be as Sun have closed the bug/RFE.
Only formatting is supported, but all patterns are compatible with SimpleDateFormat (except time zones - see below).
Java 1.4 introduced a new pattern letter, 'Z'
, to represent
time zones in RFC822 format (eg. +0800
or -1100
).
This pattern letter can be used here (on all JDK versions).
In addition, the pattern 'ZZ'
has been made to represent
ISO8601 full format time zones (eg. +08:00
or -11:00
).
This introduces a minor incompatibility with Java 1.4, but at a gain of
useful functionality.
