All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Constraint

public class DatePatternConstraint
extends ValidDataPatternConstraint

DatePatternConstraint constrains a field to only allow dates which are part of the formats defined in the system. Constraining a field all these formats is often not appropriate for fields, and you may want to constrain the input to a subset of the allowed formats in the system. This can be done by setting the allowed formats to this subset (see BasicDatePatternConstraint bean for example)
