Calender error

Question

   String timestamp = parseEventTimeId(reader);
               try {
                    Date eventtime = timeFormatStored.parse(timestamp);
                    Calendar startthis = eventtime.getTime();
                    event.setTimeStamp(startthis);
                } catch (ParseException ex) {
                    LOG.error(ex);
                }throws error :
cannot convert long to calender
please an u give me suggestion.
thanks

Answer 1

thanks for that i rote a new method
public static Calendar StringCalendar(String timestamp) throws ParseException {
        Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
        DateFormat timeFormatStored = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");
        Date eventtime = timeFormatStored.parse(timestamp);
        cal.setTime(eventtime);
        return cal;
    private static DeviceEvent parseEvent(XMLStreamReader reader, DeviceEvent event, Device device,
            DateFormat timeFormatStored) throws XMLStreamException, MalformedSigmaXMLException {
        while (reader.hasNext()) {
            if (reader.getEventType() == XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT
                    && "seqNo".equals(reader.getLocalName())) {
                event.setEventID(parseEventId(event, reader));
            } else if (reader.getEventType() == XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT
                    && "eventTime".equals(reader.getLocalName())) {
                String timestamp = parseEventTimeId(reader);
                try {
                    Calendar eventParser= SigmaXMLEventParser.StringCalendar(timestamp);
                   Calendar eventtime = eventParser.parse(timestamp);
                    System.out.println("time"+eventParser);
                    event.setTimeStamp(eventParser);
                } catch (ParseException ex) {
                    LOG.error(ex);
             reader.next();
        throw new MalformedSigmaXMLException("expected closing <deviceEvent>");
    public static String parseNextEventTime(XMLStreamReader reader) throws XMLStreamException,
            MalformedSigmaXMLException {
        while (reader.hasNext()) {
            if (reader.getEventType() == XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT
                    && "eventTime".equals(reader.getLocalName())) {
                return parseEventTimeId(reader);
            reader.next();
        throw new MalformedSigmaXMLException("missing Device event Event Time");
    }throws exception as
