Internationalization (I18n) Method Overview
The parseDate method returns a date from the given string, by applying the given pattern in the given locale.
If the locale parameter is missing or null,
the string is interpreted according to the XSP server default locale.

I18n Issues
Because the XSP server default locale may not be the correct locale for all users,
it is good i18n practice to use a method signature that accepts a
Locale argument and to further pass in a Locale object
that has been dynamically generated based upon the user's preferences.
Globalyzer will detect this method and report it as an i18n issue
regardless of the signature used and regardless of whether it is being
used correctly. If Locale is already being passed as an argument,
Globalyzer will detect it to force developers to double check that the
correct Locale is being passed. If you have determined that
the call is being handled correctly, you can
use Globalyzer's Ignore Comment
functionality to ensure that it isn't picked up in a subsequent scan.
