How to obtain a sql.Date in dd/mm/yyyy format

hi everybody,
I made a sql query in a jsp where a column of resultset is a Oracle Date, but I want to present it to the user in the format DD/MM/YYYY, how to do it ? with sql.getDate() ???
thanks for your incoming help .

Yuo can use the oracle function to convert the date format to a string for display purposes.
Something like this I think
SELECT TO_CHAR(thedatecolumn, 'DD/MM/YYYY')
FROM thetablename;

    Can any one tell me how to convert java.sql.date to dd.mm.yyyy format

    Hi ,
    Create a simple data type of type java.sql.date and give the format in it as "dd/MM/yyyy". This will work i guess.

  • How to obtain the row data in the component datatable?

    if I want to edit a row data, and then know which row is edited in the component datatable, and how to do?
    How to obtain the row data in the component datatable, and update it to database, not simplely edit a simple table
    Any ideas? Thanks

    Thank you very much for your help Alexander !
    It's quite confusing when you leave Struts and try to adapt your projects for JSF for the first time...
    I wanted to click on a row with a "onMouseClick" on the TR tag like I used to do in Struts/JSTL. But it seems to be impossible in a dataTable.
    Ok then. I've added a column at the end of the row with an icon.
    But eventually I didn't need to declare link parameters.
    In my BackingBean I did like this :
    public String selectEventForUpdate() throws IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException {
            PortletAgenda event = (PortletAgenda) JSFUtils.getInRequestMap("event");
            BeanUtils.copyProperties(this, event);
            return null;
       }JSFUtils.getInRequestMap(...) is a method I wrote in a util object :
    public static Object getInRequestMap(String name) {
            Object res = null;
            Map requestMap=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestMap();
            if (requestMap!=null) {
                res=requestMap.get(name);
            return res;
    }  " event " is the name of the item in my dataTable list.
    My backingBean has the same attributes as "event".
    So when the page is reloaded I have a backingBean full with the selected properties to edit/update.
    Thanks to your reply I realized that putting this form in the middle of the dataTable seems to be impossible.
    So I put this form in a floating DIV in front of the table with a shadow.
    It works :o) !
    But I'm a little bit disapointed to be honest...
    I used to build my web applications with Struts and JSTL and doing this kind of interface was really easy.
    I've decided 3 days ago to convert into JSF because the "GUI Layer" seemed to be improved.
    But now I realize that I cannot put a onMouseOver and onMouseClick on a row and I cannot display a different row in the middle of a table....
    I think it's a shame because there is a facet for header and footer.
    And it would be great if we could create our own personal facet that appears only if a condition is true.
    For exemple " if the current item id is the same as the request parameter id then display the following facet content ....... (with a panel group and a form inside to update the row) "
    It's easy to do that with JSTL thanks to c:forEach and c:if but it seems to be impossible to use JSTL tags like this during the dataTable iteration.
    And JSF tags seems to have no logical tags like " if " or loops that can be nested in dataTable.
    I really need to realize this interface (you click on a row then an edit form appears where you clicked).
    Do I have to write a component myself that extends dataTable?
    Do you know if writing such a component is hard to do for a beginner like me?
    (I've juste discovered JSF 3 days ago and I've used Struts/JSTL for 2 years til now)
    I'd be glad to have much advices from you about that.

  • Valiadtion of date in dd.mm.yyyy format

    i have a selection screen in which i want user to enter date in dd.mm.yyyy format only.how can i validate that.any FM.
    i also want that date to be changed in yyyymmdd format coz i have to update that in a field which has yyyymmdd format.
    so is there any fm for this also ( to change dd.mm.yyyy to yyyymmdd).
    any pointers will help.

    Hi Govind,
    Based on the user defaults in the transaction SU01 the date will be verified based on the date format selected in the user details.
    Declare the selection screen variable as of type Sy-DATUM.
    what ever format you had entered the date in the selection screen the variable will hold the value in the format yyyymmdd.
    no need to do any format for the date.
    hope this might help you.
    regards,
    Phani.

  • Displaying date in dd/MM/yyyy format

    Hi all,
    I am having one date field .To display the date in correct format, I created a dictionary simple type of type date and entered dd/MM/yyyy in representation tab.
    I was using 2004 and it was working properly. Now I am using 2004s for the same application. The problem is when I am selecting a date , it is showing the date in MM/dd/yyyy format in first time. If I selects the date again, then it will be in dd/MM/yyyy format. How can I make the selection in dd/MM/yyyy in first time itself
    Thanks 
    Fahad Hamsa

    Hi,
       Try this:
    1. Create a simple type in the local dictionary. Call it say, CustomDateType.
    2. Set the built-in type as date.
    3. Go to the representation tab and under "External Representation" set the format to "dd/MM/yyyy".
    4. Create a context value attribute day, CustomDate and set its type to CustomDateType.
    5. Create an inputfield with id say, "DateField" and bind its value property to CustomDate.
    6. Now in your wdDoModifyView() write the following code:
    if(firstTime){
       IWDViewElement e = view.getElement("DateField");
       e.requestFocus();

  • Converting string to date in mm/dd/yyyy format

    Hi,
    I used simpledateformat to convert date to "MM/dd/yyyy" format.
    Now when i want to insert into db, i want the value as date object instead of string [returned by format method of SimpleDateFormat]
    what should i do?
    Date dt = new Date();
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
    System.out.println("Formatted date is coming as "+sdf.format(dt));
    Date dt1 = sdf.parse(sdf.format(dt);
    System.out.println("parsed date is coming as " +dt1);
    output :
    1 SOP returns 11/07/2007 [current date]
    2 SOP returns Wed Nov 07 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2007

    If you are using PreparedStatements setDate method, you need a java.sql.Date object, not a Java.util.Date object. You can create an sql.Date object from a util.Date object as follows:
    java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(dt.getTime());And, if you are not using PreparedStatement and its setDate method, then change now.
    Doing
    Date dt1 = sdf.parse(sdf.format(dt));is meaningless. You format the date to string, then parse the string back to a date? Why? Why not just use the original Date object? And you won't get a sql.Date object that way, either, as the DateFormat classes return a util.Date object.
    Edit: And for more info:
    A Date does not have a format. It is simply a number. The "format" only comes into play when printing the String representation of the Date, and that is not handled by the Date object itself (except when calling toString either explicitly or implicitly).

  • Date in mm/dd/yyyy format

    I have a dunning output that is prodcuing the date in mm/dd/yyyy format despite the user settings being dd/mm/yyyy - and there is no set country command on the form - any ideas of why this is occuring or how I change it.

    Hi,
    This can be because at time the date settings can be pulled from customer records.
    For example. In SPRO you can configure date settings based on countries.
    So if your customer belongs to XXXX country then it can pick up the date settings from SPRO.
    You can check with a functional guy for the node where you do settings for different countries.
    I will try and send you the details later as i dont have system handy.
    Thanks

  • Calculate future date in MM/dd/yyyy format

    Hi,
    I am trying to add a 56 months to a given date (MM/dd/yyyy string) and output the date in MM/dd/yyyy format.
    Here is my code:
                   SimpleDateFormat date = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
                   date.parse("07/30/2000");
                   GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();
                   gc.add(Calendar.MONTH,+56);
                   System.out.println(date.format(gc.getTime()));  I tried to assign date.parse() to a Date but there is no fomat method on Date so to add months to the date. Could someone suggest me how to calculate a future date?

    thanks for looking, just found the answer:
                   SimpleDateFormat date = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
                   Date dt = date.parse("07/30/2000");
                   GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();
                   gc.setTime(dt);         //this was missing
                   gc.add(Calendar.MONTH,+56);
                   System.out.println(date.format(gc.getTime()));
