Issue with converting string to date object

Hi all,
I have a problem with sorting a list of dates in a table column. My dates are in the format 'yyyy-Mmm-dd'(Eg: 2009-Dec-23). Can someone help me how to sort the dates in this format. here is the code which i tried.
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-Mmm-dd");
          Date d1= new Date();
          Date d2= new Date();
          try {
               d1 = dateFormat.parse("2006-Jun-09");
             d2 = dateFormat.parse("2006-Apr-10");
          } catch (ParseException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println("converted date 1"+ d1);
         System.out.println("converted date 1"+ d2);
Exception : Unparseable date: "2006-Jun-09"
     }Please someone help me how to pass this date in the right format.

I believe twisai may have lost the documentation so he/she can figure this out rather than guess that "Mmm" means 3-letter month, first letter capitalized. Let me remind him of the link:

How to convert a string to date object?

I have a string user input for date.
I want to convert it to Date object to insert it in database.
How to do it?

Check the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class. You can use it for parsing dates. API contains good description how to build the format pattern.

Adding days to a date object

I am retreiving a date field from the database.
i am retrieving that with getDate() method on the result set object.
that is am retrieving as java.sql.Date object.
on that date object i have to add 30 days and store it back in the
database as a date field in database.
How should i go about handling this problem.
suppose
java.sql.Date newDate=rs.getDate(1);
on this newDate how can i add 30 days and store it back to the database.
Plz help me out guyz.
Thanks.

wud the setting to a particuale date means setting to
the date i retrieved from the database.
How to set for a particular date.We have setTime()
method in Calendar.
but that takes util.Date object.Then do i have to
convert the sql.Date object into a util.Date object.A java.sql.Date IS-A java.util.Date.
(There's no such thing as a sql.Date or a util.Date unless you have a different API than the rest of us.)

How to Convert Calender to Date

Hi.
I have Calender object (MM dd,yyyy), I wanted to convert this into Date object in the format of "yyyy-mm-dd". Can any one please give me code to do this ?
Thanks
Sarav.

Use Calendar.getTime() to get a Date object corresponding to the point in time that the Calendar represents.
But note that Dates don't have formats. If you want the time formatted in a particular way, use a java.text.SimpleDateFormat.

Date objects and prepared statements

Hi, I am trying to parse a String into a Date object with format "dd/MM/yyyy hh/mm/ss". Anyway, i have a method in a separate class which reads in a String and converts it to a formatted Date object.
static public Date convertToDate(String t) throws ParseException {
Date dd = new Date();
ParsePosition p = new ParsePosition(0);
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss");
//y, M, etc are retrieved as substrings of String t. I know these methods are deprecated as well
dd.setYear(y);
dd.setMonth(M);
dd.setDate(d);
dd.setHours(h);
dd.setMinutes(m);
dd.setSeconds(s);
String formattedDate = formatter.format(dd);
Date theDate = formatter.parse(formattedDate);
return theDate;
Anyway, I am trying to use this in an SQL statement because I am using an Access DB which has a field of Date/Time value. Is this correct to use a Date object then? I have a prepared statement -
PreparedStatement query = connection.prepareStatement(
"SELECT FText FROM wnioutput WHERE Id = ? AND Section = ? AND Start = " +
"? AND Field = ?");
//start is the Date object returned from the previous method in a separate class
query.setInt(1, id);
query.setInt(2, section);
query.setDate(3, formattedStart); - with this part, i get a setDate method not found, or something
query.setString(4, ch);
Can anybody tell me what the problem is? I know there are Date objects of java.util and java.sql. Should i be using an sql Date object? And if so, how, and where do I do this? Thank you!

ok, i just tried
query.setTimestamp(3, new java.sql.Timestamp(formattedStart.getTime()));
where formattedStart is a java.util.Date object
and I get the following error message -
Error occured in getting endDateAndTime: java.sql.SQLException: Exception in databaseDisplay: the error message is:java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
java.lang.NullPointerException
where endDateAndTime is
// takes in the startDateAndTime as a formatted String (before it is converted into a Date object)
public String getEndTime(int s, int ID, String stDateAndTime) {
String end = null;
gui g = new gui();
try {
String sql = "SELECT End FROM wnioutput WHERE Id = " + ID +
" AND Section = " + s +
" AND Start = '" + stDateAndTime + "' AND Field = 'Wind50m'";
ResultSet result = g.queryDatabase(sql);
if (result.next())
end = result.getString("End");
} catch (SQLException sqlex) {
System.out.println("Error occured in getting endDateAndTime: " + sqlex.toString());
return end;
Although this method worked fine before. So the error is in setting the date object in the prepared statement. Anymore suggestions??

Converting Date.toString() back to a Date object for compare

I know this is beating a dead horse to death but I have wasted a whole day trying to get this to work. Here is the problem.
I need to convert a Date().toString (format returned: Dec 19, 2006 3:39:58 PM EST) back to a Date object. What I am doing is writting this string a text file and then revisiting it to compare later to a current Date object to find the difference in the two stamps in milliseconds.
J2SE 1.4.2 being used
Date date = new Date();
String newDateStr = log[1].trim(); // entry from log file
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date logDate = dateFormat.parse(newDateStr);
// get difference between the two
long timeSpan = date.getTime() - logDate.getTime();
if(timeSpan > 60000){
// TO DO
}So should I look at a different approach at either:
A) Storing the date/time stamp in the text file
B) The conversion back to Date object is wrong
Really appreciate any insight on this.
Thanks

Then my friend you are in the same status as Tim.:o)
I don't know as much as him and I don't care to write
an elaborate reply most of the time. :D
Merry ChristmasSame to you.I don't pretend to know that much, but When I see something I do know, I tend to give examples.
Most probably that is because at the present time I am in a situation where most of my time is spent waiting for a call from the customer, and the app I am supporting works so well that those calls are few and far between. Lucky for me, they pay me for sitting around and answering questions on a forum.
At least it is a java forum, where I can justly claim that I am improving my knowledge of java.

Convert a calendar object to a date object

Show us the code where you set the calendar to your desired value. Calendar1.getTime()
should return the relevant date.

How to convert date object format to new?

Hi,
I have data object and I want to convert it to this format.
DD MMM YYYY
eg: 23 MAR 2003
I am looking for exact line of code please.
Thanks,
Kavans.

You should check out the Javadoc for java.text.DateFormat and java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
As for the exact line of code then this would be close:
Date date = ...; // wherever your date comes from
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");
String dateAsString = dateFormat.format(date);Remember to check out those Javadocs, though, 'cos they'll tell you the various formatting options available.
Hope this helps.

How to convert server specific date string into client specific date object

Hi developers,
I have a very complex issue to convert the server date string format "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy" into java.util.Date object and find the difference of the client machine date to represent the elapsed time
The problem is the server time zone and client time zone are not unique and when I try to covert the server date which is in string format to date format using SimpleDateFormat class , I got the server time as 3:30 hours appended to it. The server time zone is in IST and Client time zone format is GMT+5:30 , the appended time of 3:30 hours created the confusion in calculating the elapsed time between the server started time and client requested time
I went through all the sites but none of them were useful
If any help to solve the above issue is appriciated
please send the response with the same subject line
Advance Thanks

Why don't you just subtract from the server time the 3:30 hours (consult api of java.util.date) before comparing with the client date? Hard to see where's the problem...

Convert Date Object to Calendar object

Hi,
I have a Date field in my webdynpro application, I need to to read this from my current context and convert the same to a Calendar field and pass it to my model.
Calendar date = CalendarConverter.parseDate(req_date.toString());
The above code gives me a null pointer exception.
Can anyone suggest me the right way of converting a Date object to Calendar object?
Ashwini.

Ashwini,
try to use the following code snippet:
// get calendar and set your date object
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime( <YOUR_DATE_OBJECT> );
// to manipulate the fields use this
c.set(Calendar.MONTH, 1);
// to manipulate retrieve a fields use this
c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
Hope that helps you.

BSP Exception: Missing reference when converting data object ZZxx

Hi there,
I have created these new Z fields and tried to include them in a field group. These fields did appear, but they are highlighted with a red box, with the above text in the tool tip.
Does anyone know what it means??
Thanks

I believe they were generated by EEWB - or could've been added manually to the CRMD_CUSTOMER_H. This error only occurs on the Currency fields...something to do with reference field but I just can't find what is wrong with this. I searched up SAP notes and found the following the closest match: -
Symptom
when trying to scroll down in the result list in the F4 for the Ibase the error error "BSP exception : Missing reference when converting data object amount. Correct the entry" occurs.
Other terms
CRMT_BSP_IBASE_TREE_NF, data object amount
Reason and Prerequisites
This happens due to inconsistancy in structure
Solution
Please follow the below steps manually.
1. Go to tx:SE11
2. Select data type "CRMT_BSP_IBASE_TREE_NF" in change mode
3. Select component AMOUNT in 'Components' tab
4. Go to "Currency/quantity fields" tab
5. Replace 'Reference table' entry from 'CRMT_BSP_IBASE_DETAIL'
to 'CRMT_BSP_IBASE_TREE_NF'
6. Save and activate

Converting Date Object

plz help me,
I want Date in simple format as dd/mm/yyyy.
I am retrieving date from database (oracle) and now i want to convert that date to simple "dd/mm/yyyy"
e.g : date_from_oracle=Wed Feb 01 09:10:59 GMT+05:30 1950
converted_date=1/2/1950 (and this should be date object and not String)
System.out.println("converted date:" + converted_date);
above line should print : converted date:1/2/1950
if u r clear with my question then plz help me
Thanks

No my problem is that i am developping J2EE
application where i am getting date values in EJB
that i want to display on JSP page.
For this i am using struts and passing collection of
data values to it.That shouldn't make the solution any different.
My oracle date format is 01-Jan-2005 (dd/mmm/yyyy).
In my ejb there is one attribute named "date_display"
of type Date. In Struts Action i retrieved collection
of all dates from database that i want to display on
JSP page as it is without any parsing. Then you should not bother about the format.
If i iterate above collection in JSP page it displays
date along with GMT and Time format. I dont want
this. I want to set "date_display" in such a way that
it should contain date values but in simple format as
"1-Jan-2005 OR 1/1/2005". Important thing is that the
Setter Method for date_display accepts parameter of
Date type. So even SimpleDateFormat also not useful.If it is not useful, write your own method. <_<
please help me out as i am stuck there.
System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").format(new Date()));

Data objects in Unicode cannot be converted dump

Hi experts,
I am using a Custom business object which if run independently throws no error. We are upgrading 4.6 to ECC 6.0.It is unicode active.
The Business object contains methods for displaying a scanned document from IXOS server.
On executing work item (for decision step), there is a scanned document which shows up in a window. On closing the window,
there is a short dump with text 'Data objects in Unicode cannot be converted dump'.
There are both Before Work item execution method and an After Work item execution method attached in the Methods tab of the task.
In the After Work item method there is ARCHIVWINDOW_CLOSE function module used. Could there be a problem with this?
Please help.
Regards,
Garima.

Actually, there is no problem in Workflow.It is because we are upgrading from 4.6 to ECC 6.0.
I have used CREATE OBJECT ole class and FREE OBJECT statements.
There is a dump ' Data objects in Unicode cannot be converted dump ' from function AC_FLUSH_CALL_INTERNAL
occuring when FREE OBJECT statement is executed.
Please suggest a solution to this.
Regards,
Garima.
