Saving/finding Map with Date key (with not english locale)

[ghost]

Bug #558 not fixed.
Morphia version : 1.0.1
System locale : FRENCH.

I got a problem when trying to decode my date "Wed May 06 00:00:00 CEST 2015" : it cannot be decoded using the pattern "EEE MMM dd kk:mm:ss z yyyy" as specified in class "DateConverter" line 45.

The date is encoded using "toString()" method (see class "MapOfValuesConverter" line 55), which according to java.util.Data API documentation uses format "dow mon dd hh:mm:ss zzz yyyy". The day & month name is always written in english.
When decoding using "EEE MMM dd kk:mm:ss z yyyy" pattern in SimpleDateFormatter, the day & month name is written according to system locale (french for me).

To fix this bug, the SimpleDateFormatter declared in DateConverter line 45 should specify which langage to use : replace
new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd kk:mm:ss z yyyy")
by
new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd kk:mm:ss z yyyy", Locale.US)
