How can i compare: java.util.Date oracle.jbo.domain.Date?

Question

I have made a ViewObject wich contains a date column.
I want to check if this date is smaller/greater than sysdate:
i get following error:
Error(45,24): method <(java.util.Date, oracle.jbo.domain.Date) not found in class Class4
code:
SimpleTimeZone pdt = new SimpleTimeZone(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000, ids[0]);
// set up rules for daylight savings time
pdt.setStartRule(Calendar.APRIL, 1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
pdt.setEndRule(Calendar.OCTOBER, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
// create a GregorianCalendar with the Pacific Daylight time zone
// and the current date and time
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(pdt);
Date trialTime = new Date();
calendar.setTime(trialTime);
(VO_ULNRow)singleRow = null;
while(vo.hasNext()){                                             // ViewObject vo;
singleRow = (VO_ULNRow)vo.next();
if(calendar.getTime() < singleRow.getEO_ULN_BORROWFROM()); //singleRow returns oracle.jbo.domain.Date
etcetera
how can i compare those 2?

Hi,
oracle.jbo.domain.Date has two methods which suit your needs
longValue() which returns a long (though I'm not sure if returns a long comparable to the long returned by java.util.Date)
and dateValue() which returns a java.util.Date
I hope it helps,
