Through development, we finally ran into the Javascript date issue where the dates sent between the front and the backend were not in sync. The front end was sending the dates to the backend in “YYYY-MM_DD” format, and the Jackson’s deserializer would append the application’s server timezone to the date, and this would result in inconsistent dates in the right conditions since it assumed that the date sent was in GMT and would try to convert it to the local time which ended up shaving a day of the date. To solve this problem, we decided the frontend would send the date with the local timezone which would be saved on the server. It took me a little while to figure it out, but i finally used this piece of code to set the serializer’s date format:
Ext.util.JSON.encodeDate = function(o)
{
return '"' + o.format("Y-m-d'T'H:i:s.uZ") + '"';
}
To set the correct format for your particular server, check the Date format patterns accepted by ExtJS Date object:
