Getting different date formats on local machine and in production

I have a screen where I should search based on a particular date range.

When I try to search within the date range in my local host (connected to production database) I am getting the expected result. Whereas in the production (also connected to the same database) no search results has been found for the date range.

The problem that I found was that the date format in my local host looks like 01-Feb-2018 whereas in production the date format is 01-febr.-2018. I am sure the problem is here but not sure of how the format is changing for the production alone. I have changed the format of date in Java like:

if(packingMobileHdrTO.getFromDate() != null )
{
    fromDate = DATE_FORMATTER_DD_MMM_YYYY.format(packingMobileHdrTO.getFromDate());
}

The locale is set differently in prod vs your local machine.

Set them to the same, either:

  • in your system's configuration
  • on the command line when starting the JVM
  • via a call to Locale.setDefault(...)
  • or by setting the locale explicitly on DATE_FORMATTER_DD_MMM_YYYY (which is the most robust option, if the dates have to be in a specific format).
