How to compare character with \ ?

Hi,
How can I compare a character with backslash ?
when I do
if (c == '\')
then it gives error invalid character constant
I cant even declare string with this value like
String str = "\";
this gives error string literal is not properly closed by double qoute
thanks in advance

Hi,
You can use the below
String str = "\\";
char c = '\\';
* are considered as \ at runtime.

HOw to compare column with column using JCheckBox

How to compare this value with the one in the database?

Hi
Say myCheckbox is the checkbox I want to test.
The example below uses its state to query the database:
String value;
Statement stmt;
ResultSet rset;
value = myCheckbox.isSelected() ? "Y" : "N";
stmt = conn.createStatement();
rset = stmt.executeQuery("select column2 from table where column2 = "+value);
In this case, the database colum is character, with the possibles values of Y or N.

RegardsPoint a) VERY BAD IDEA storing dates as VARCHAR2 on the database. It will only lead to corrupt data in the future.
Point b) When comparing dates, you should compare them as DATE datatype as the database knows how to do comparisons against DATES. If you try and compare them as VARCHAR2 then you will most likely end up with incorrect comparisons.
If you must have varchar2 storing of your dates/times (there's absolutely no reason to though)... you want...
TO_DATE(:entered_date,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') BETWEEN TO_DATE(DATEFROM,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') AND TO_DATE(DATETO,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')
e.g.
TO_DATE('20080815 13:23:33','YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') BETWEEN TO_DATE(DATEFROM,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') AND TO_DATE(DATETO,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')

You can get your date in your action method like
Date newDate=new Date();
Date myDate= wdThis
                          .wdGetYourComponentNameController()
                                  .wdGetContext()
                                       .currentYourNodeNameElement()
                                                       .getYourDateName();
if ( myDate== null) {
         wdContext.currentContextElement().setYourDateName(newDate);
else{...........//continue your other validations or calling other methods}

How to compare a string with integer in jsp

I have a field in database called as enddate
i m trying to split the entire date and get date,month and year
once i store the date in a variable called as fmdate which is string,
i need to compare it with another integer.
how can i compare it..heres my code
stdate=RS.getString("start_date");
     fmdate=stdate.substring(8,10);
     fmmonth=stdate.substring(5,7);
     fmyear=stdate.substring(0,4);
and this is where i want to compare the value of j to fmday...
<td class="btext" valign="center">Day<select name="fmday">
<%
for(int j=1;j<=31;j++)
String s;
parseInt(s)=j;
if (fmdate.equals(s))
%>
<option value="<%=j%>"><%=j%></option>
<% } else { %>
<option value="<%=j%>"><%=j%></option>
<%
} %>
</select>
pl help me...
Thanks Srini

j is an int, so you're just adding 0, not concatenating. Perhaps something like this would work.
<%
for(int j=1;j<=31;j++)
     String date = String.valueOf(j);
     if(j <= 9) {
        date = 0 + date;
     if (fmdate.equals(date)) {
%>
<option value="<%=date%>"><%=date%></option>
<%
     } else {
%>
<option value="<%=date%>"><%=date%></option>
<%
%>Uhm, I assume there should be a 'selected' or something in one of the option tags?

How to compare Date in the TextField or DateTime with Date/Time field?

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with respect Date comparinson. I tried to look into entire discussions but failed to get the answer.
My issue is: I wanted to comparet Date/time field value with Date value which is in TextField.
The functionality of my form is:
I have dropdown list which lists the registered customer ids binded to XML Datasource. On selection of the customer id from the dropdown I am displaying customer registration date in the TextField or say Date/Time field as below code in dropdown change event.
RegistrationDetails.PurchaseEntry.txtRegDate.rawValue = regDataNode.CREATION_DATE.value; (this is TextField control)
In form I have an Date/Time field in which use will select the date of item purchase. In the validation part I want to make sure that, the purchase date selected in Date/Time field must be greater than the Customer Registraiton Date. I able to compare if the customer selects the date from two different Date/Time fields. But how to compare the dates which one is in Date/Time field and Date is in TextField?
I have tried using Num2Date and Date2Num with "YYYY-MM-DD" format to compare but not succeed!
Can you guys help me in this? Thanks in advance
Regards.

Hi,
Yes, I am able to display the date which I have assigned to the text box. In the message box it show the value as '31/05/2009', since in this format i am assigining the date in the text box.
Here is the code which I am assigning the value:
RegistrationDetails.PurchaseEntry.txtRegDate.rawValue = regDataNode.CREATION_DATE.value;
Do I need to change the format while assigning value in text box?
You have told that, you have attached your test form, nothing is the reply. Can you repost the file?
Regards.

How to replace the '&' character with '&' in xi

Hi,
i need to replace the '&' character with ' &'.but i f i am converting it is displaying as '&' because internally '&' = '&'.
beacuse of this it is not converting.
is there any possiblity to change the standard conversion in xi.

Graphical mapping does not support special character like & , <,> to be mapped.
You can encode & as and in UTF-8 only.
if you want the special character to be used, Opt XSLT mapping with ISO-8859-1 encoding
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
