Missing java.time.Year Formatter [SPR-16437]

[spring-projects-issues]

Michał Sobkiewicz opened SPR-16437 and commented

Please consider adding some kind of org.springframework.format.datetime.standard.YearFormatter (similarly to org.springframework.format.datetime.standard.YearMonthFormatter).

I believe it's more convenient and self-explanatory to use java.time.Year as param in e.g. handlers whenever it really means a year and so on.

Good point. The main reason why java.time.Year and also java.time.Month weren't covered before is because they didn't exist in Joda-Time (which is where our JSR-310 support originated).

I've added dedicated formatters for both java.time.Year and java.time.Month now, parsing the JSR-310 way for the former (i.e. simple year numbers) and leniently resolving the enum constant name in any case for the latter (i.e. not just "JANUARY" which worked before already but also "January" etc).
