How to update a Date attribute type?

Question

Hello!
I have several Date attributes in some categories that I need to update with the Oracle Content API.
I saw that OCDB returns a GregorianCalendar object to retrieve the date value, but I can't update it with the same object, I used this java code:
day = token.nextToken();
month = token.nextToken();
year = token.nextToken();
int iDay = Integer.parseInt(day);
int iMonth = Integer.parseInt(month);
int iYear = Integer.parseInt(year);
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(iYear, iMonth, iDay);               
categoryDef2[temporal2] = ClientUtils.newNamedValue(oculto, cal);
The date is in format dd/mm/yyyy so I parse it with StringTonekizer and passed to GregorianCalendar constructor, but I always receive AggregateError at updateDocument moment...
Anyone can help me? Thank you

Hi,
Convert the Calendar to a Date object and return this to Content DB.
e.g. Item doc = ...
Object value = CommonUtils.getAttribute(doc, Attributes.CREATE_DATE);
Date d = null;
if (value instanceof java.util.Calendar)
Calendar c = (Calendar) value;
d = c.getTime();
else if (value instance of java.util.Date)
d = (Date) value;
cheers
