Error in timestamp conversion

Question

I use an attribute definede oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp but when I use the getTime() method I get an incorrect result (meaningless, sometime it reverse the natural time direction).
How can I solve that issue ?

Answer 1

Did you create a TimeStamp attribute in the Entity Object?
This would be requried for sql type DATE attributes.
Using JDev 9i
You can create a date and time format (display both) to display an attribute value that is SQLType DATE, but you must first change the attribute type definition on the attribute's entity object to Timestamp. To change the attribute's type: Expand the Business Components project in the Navigator and locate the entity object that defines the attribute for which you want to create the format. Right-click the entity object in the Navigator and choose Edit EOName. In the Entity Object Wizard, select Attribute Settings and choose the desired attribute from the Select Attribute dropdown list. Note: By default the attribute should show a type of Date to match its database column type. Choose Timestamp from Type on the attribute settings page. Click OK to save the attribute with the new type.
