Aggregate 1.0 - Tomcat servers have date parsing issues

Support
1

Hi everyone,

Please be advised that if you are using Aggregate 1.0 withTomcat/MySQL or
Tomcat/PostgreSQL deployments, the parsing of dates during form submissions
appears to be using the localized format when interpreting the dates. This
will generally lead to the date values being discarded (showing as blanks)
during the submission process.

The work-around is to make sure that the Tomcat server is running in the
US/English locale.

If you are using forms with dates, please double-check that the date values
are passing through OK.
