Bug in lsParseDateTime()

Description

This is copied from: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RAILO-3312

Works in CF, errors in Railo with:

can't cast [2011-03-24] to date value

My locale is english (uk)

I don't if yyyy-mm-dd should be a valid format for my locale, if it's not, this is just a CF compat issue.

Environment

None

Hi
Thanks for looking at this. As you know, I don't use CFML any more, so for issues I've raised in the past... it's OK just to close them as "yeah, thanks for letting us know". I would not want you to invest your time in looking at the issues I've raised.

I note five ppl have "watched" this (I'm one), but no-one's voted, so I dunno if anyone else really is that concerned about this?

Perhaps the easiest remedial action is just to document it as an "ColdFusion incompatibility edge-case".

Cheers for looking at it though dude.

lsParseDateTime simply uses SimpleDateFormat (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html) in the back, used with the "uk" locale this can simply not handle this format.
What supports this format is the "us" locale, so when i do this [lsParseDateTime("2011-03-24","english (us)")] it works.

I assume that ACF uses the "US" locale as fallback in case the defined locale is not working. I'm not sure if this is a smart solution because this could lead to unexpected results.

An other reason could be that this format is supported depending on the JVM version used.

Testcase fails on Lucee with:

but passes on ACF-11.
