Display current date in jsp?

I hate asking for code, but I can't find anything on this. I'm trying to display the current date in the format YYYYMMDD on a jsp page without using scriplets. I've seen getting the time in milliseconds used through
<jsp:useBean id="now" class="java.util.GregorianCalendar" />
<c:out value="${now.timeInMillis}" />but now.year/Year/YEAR etc all give me 500 errors. I've also tried
<jsp:useBean id="now" class="java.util.Date" />
<c:out value="${now.year}" />But this just yields a constant. I know there is the SimpleDateFormat which I think would go with the java.util.Date example, but I'm not sure how it would be used in this context. Can anyone help me to get the date?

Or how about using the JSTL tag for it:
<jsp:useBean id="now" class="java.util.Date" />
<fmt:formatDate value="${now}"/>This tag leverages the java.text.SimpleDateFormat to do its job.
Cheers,

Shilpa.

Shilpa,
go to system administratioon-system configuration-support-support desk-browse deployment-check for com.sap.porta.navigation.masthead.par and download it to nwds.
when you import it to NWDS jar file will be missing so you need to manually add that to PORTAL-INF/private/lib.
once you do this go to HeaderiView.jsp in PORTAL-INF/jsp folder.
write
<%= new java.util.Date()%> after <hbj:form id="HeaderForm">.for that matter u can write this at any line after this statement
once you do that select qucik par upload from the tool bar and deploy it.
go to system administration-system configuration-support-support desk-administration console and upload the par file
before following these steps take a backup of par file

How to display current date in query header?

Hi,
How to display current date in query header?
I use Query Designer for development.
Thanks,
Arun KK

Hi Arun,
You can define fixed header lines and footer lines so that when you generate the query list, they can receive current values of certain fields. When you define a header line or a footer line, you must specify a character string of the type &field, where field is the short name of a field.
This function allows you (for example) to place a sort criterion in the header line.
You can include the following fields as variables in the headers directly:
%NAME
Name of the user processing the query
%DATE
Current date
%TIME
Current time
%PAGE
Current page number (6 characters)
%P
Current page number (3 characters)
These fields can be used in the short forms N,D,T and P. If you want to use these letters as short names for query fields, the field values from the query are used.
You can also see the link

Displaying Current Date and Time in JSP

Hi,
I need to insert the current date time in Ms SQL Server Database using jsp page. The format of the code willbe
insert into table(update_date) values ('2007-01-01 10:02:21');
But i am not getting how to display the current date and time ie. 2007-01-01 10:02:21 using jsp.
I have tried using
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
String dd = sdf.format(cal.getTime());
insert into table(update_date) values (dd);
But it didnot get inserted data.
Can anybody figure out with simple ideas.
Thank You

Why then are you trying to insert the current date on a table?
To show the current date on the JSP you might try
<%=new Date()%>Or the way you had it on your first post with the date formatter and then use the <%=%> tags. Anyway, it seems to me I'm not really understanding what you actually want to do :-p
P.S. NOW() is a MySQL function too, not only MSSQL server (didn't even know it had it too ;-))
mysql> insert into a(up) values (now());
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from a;

Display Current Date on Heading Title (TTITLE)

I am using sql*plus to write a report. I would like for the current date (and time if possible) to be displayed in the title of my report (TTITLE.) It appears that I'm supposed to use a system variable called, _DATE, but I'm not sure what to do. I'm running sql*plus v.10.2.
Here is my code. How can I include the current date to be displayed in the "RIGHT" side of the TTITLE heading?
TTITLE ON
TTITLE LEFT 'MY COMPANY' CENTER 'Weekly Invoice Totals for Cost Center: 10 - MANAGEMENT' RIGHT 'Date: '
set pagesize 66
set linesize 120
set wrap off
column vendor_name heading 'Supplier' format a40
column invoice_num heading 'Invoice Number' format a30
column invoice_amount heading 'Invoice Amount' format 999,999,999.99
set underline =
compute sum label TOTAL of invoice_amount on vendor_name
break on vendor_name skip 2
SELECT
po_v.vendor_name,
ap_inv.invoice_num,
ap_inv.invoice_amount,
FROM
ap.ap_invoices_all ap_inv,
po.po_vendors po_v,
WHERE
ap_inv.vendor_id = po_v.vendor_id and
ap_inv.creation_date > SYSDATE-10;

Hi,
Define a substitution variable, then use that variable in your TTITLE statement:
COLUMN     report_date_col     NEW_VALUE report_date
SELECT     TO_CHAR ( SYSDATE
          , 'DD-Mon-YYYY'
          )     AS report_date_col
FROM     dual
TTITLE LEFT 'MY COMPANY' CENTER 'Weekly Invoice Totals for Cost Center: 10 - MANAGEMENT' RIGHT 'Date: &report_date' SQL*Plus can't execute functions (like SYSDATE).
To get function results into a substitution variable, you can use the COLUMN ... NEW_VALUE command, as shown above, then call the function in a query.
Note that both the substitution variable and the title are static. That is, if you include the hours-minutes-seconds in the format, and run the SELECT statement at 17:00:00, then execute the TTITLE command at 17:00:05, and run reports at 17:01:00, 17:02:00 and 17:03:00, the title on all the reports will say 17:00:00.

How to set Default value of a parameter to display Current Date

I need to display the Default value for my parameter 'As of Date' which is of datatype Date as Current Date[DD-MON-YYYY].
How can I do This??

As Tamir-L pointed out, there is no direct way to do this, but there is a workaround:
First, create a new parameter, but do not base it on any item. Give the parameter a default value of "Today".
Then, create a condition like:
   (    :myParam = 'Today'
    AND <date_item> = sysdate)
OR (    <date_item> = to_date(:myParam, 'DD-MON-YYYY'))Where :myParam is the parameter you created, and <date_item> is the item you are comparing against.
To make things a bit more bulletproof, you could create a calculation that returns sysdate when the parameter is 'Today', a date when the to_date is successful, and NULL when the to_date fails, and use the calculation in the condition.

Datechooser display current date in YYYY/MM/DD format on init

I have two date fields. I'd like one date chooser to display
the current date on creation complete and the other should display
the 30 days after the current date.
The format needs to be YYYY/MM/DD.
I'm currently getting a the current date in a var called
currentDate but it returns at 11 Dec 2008.
Thanks in advance.
I

Thanks,
I am using : <mx:DateField id="effective_date"
formatString="YYYY/MM/DD"
text="{dgMessages.selectedItem.effective_date}" showToday="true"
enabled="true"/>
so after the user chooses a dates everything is fine.
The customer wants todays date to already be populated in the
datefield when the application loads and that's where I have my
problem.
I get my current date:
var currentDate:Date = new Date();
but I need to format that date from 12 Dec 2008 to 12/12/2008
and create another date var called endDate adding 60 days.
I assume I must convert this vars to strings since I get an
error when attempting to display them in the datafield.
I hope I explained that well enough.

Time field also displaying current date

Hi there
I have two databound fields (to a Sybase back-end) - one is a date field, the other a time field!
The date field works fine, but the time field is displaying the current date as well as the data retrieved time!
The field is set to:-
Data pattern: HH:MM::SS
Data Format: Time
Type: Date/Time Field
Validation Pattern: HH:MM:SS
The field is defined as 'time' in Sybase, and displays just the time in other objects (.NET fields...).
Anyone any ideas?

not the cleanest code, but i had this laying around in an old
project...
date = new Date()
month = date.getMonth() + 1
today = date.getDate()
fyear = date.getFullYear()
hours = date.getHours()
minutes = date.getMinutes()
seconds = date.getSeconds()
if(month <10){
month = "0"+month
if(today<10){
today = "0"+today
if(hours <10){
hours = "0"+hours
if(minutes <10){
minutes = "0"+minutes
if(seconds <10){
seconds = "0"+seconds
CurrentTime.text = month+"/"+today+"/"+fyear+"
"+hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds

Posting a full years worth but only display current date

i am wondering how i go about posting my rss feed for the whole year but only allow itunes to read the current date? i understand from research that it takes the most current date and uses that as the first. but if i wanted to display September's 06 podcast in September and not July's 07 then how would i do that. i have seen some software that you can purchase that will do this for you, but i would rather code it my self or with the help of others. does anyone have any ideas on how this is done? or have you done it your self. any thoughts or ideas are very welcomed.

not quite. i have cooking videos that i would like to be availbe new episode every 2 weeks. so my rss feed is set up with 27 diferent items, because 52/2=27 52 is the number of weeks. any who so there are 27 diferent items in the rss feed all with the diferent dates. (item 1= aug 30, item 2=sept sept 13, item 3= sept 27....) but on sept 13 the only items that should display would be the aug 30th and the sept 13th. but when sept 27th roles around all prev. are displayed includeing the new sept 27th episode.
i understand that i can just reupload the rss feed and ping the system. but i am just trying to see if i can do this automated style for ease of use and to be able to concentrate on other things.
thank you for your quick reply.

Displaying Mysql data in JSPs...

I am having problem displaying results that I am pulling from a Mysql table. When I test the code in a Java environment it works absolutely fine but when I transfer the code to a JSP it seems to execute it correctly but not display the output on the screen. The code I'm using is as follows.
<%
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection(url,"root","111101");
stmt = conn.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM student");
while (rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getString("student_id")+"<br>");
rs.close();
catch( Exception x ) {
x.printStackTrace();
%>
Any help on this topic would be much appreciated.

My code now reads like this but I am still ahving the same problem -> I can't display the data being retrieved.
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/teaching";
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
