You can configure the format for dates that are returned by the REST Web Services interface. It will return dates in one of the following formats:
A string representation of a Java Date object (default)
MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss z
For example: 01/29/2011 11:11:11 PDT
To control which date format will be returned, set the enableFormatDateOutput property of the /atg/rest/output/JSONOutputCustomizer or /atg/rest/output/XMLOutputCustomizer components.
Set
enableFormatDateOutputto true to receive the date and time inMM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss zformat.Set
enableFormatDateOutputtofalseto receive the string representation of theDateobject.
Note: The return depth for a REST request may cause a date property to be expanded. If a date property is expanded, it will not be in either of the formats described in this section but will be a set of properties that make up the date. See Return Depth. If you do not want to expand date properties, you can suppress property expansion for them. See Suppressing Property Expansion.
