date.format in vxws.properties doesn't alter format in some services

Symptoms

* Changing date format in vxws.properties appears to alter the date format in some services (like Record Items, for example), but not others (Patron Circulation Actions – Loans, for example).

Defect Status

Issue 16384-16194 / VYG-239 is resolved for Voyager 8.1.2 and higher.

Replication Steps

Replication steps:
1. In /m1/voyager/yyydb/vxws/context/vxws/ui/eng, edit the date.format= variable in vxws.properties to, for example, MM-dd-yyyy.
2. Check the date format in the xml Voyager sends:
