Date format is not respected when serializing map with Date as key #538

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Crete Map<Date,Object> and populate with random data
2. Create Gson using GsonBuilder and setDateFormat("any format")
3. Serialize map to json.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect keys to be serialized using date format, but I see that keys are 
converted to strings using Date.toString() which uses generic "EEE MMM dd 
HH:mm:ss z yyyy" format

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.2.4 from Maven,Ubuntu Linux

i got the same issue. if date is a field of the object, it will be fine. if it 
is inside a map, then only default date format. even customized date sterilizer 
doesnt work.

Got the same issue.

Even when the Date is value in the map, it's serialized with the date format.
But when using Date as a key of the map, toString is used.

Same issue in Map<String, Object> when value is java.util.Date
serialization is ok, deserialization returns a String.
gson 2.2.4
