Inserting multiple records in JSP and setting date format

Question

Hi,
I'm looking at the possibilities for using JSP's as a web application.
I've got a few questions about it:
1) Is it possible to insert multiple records in the detail block of my JSP. Normally when I click the 'insert button', an insert JSP comes up, which is a html form with the possiblity of inserting only one record.
2) Is it possible to change the format of a date field. Now a date field is displayed as 'YYYY-MM-DD'. My nls_date_format is something else.
3) I can't get the static combo box working for the class EditCurrentRecord. The normal use combo box is no problem. Probably, I don't have the syntax correct. Could anyone provide an example for this.

Answer 1

2) Just use the Calendar object. You can format the date any way you want. I am assuming that you are talking about how the date appears after a .toString() call.
Here is how I do it (this code will probably look very bad I am trying to type into a very small space so bear with me):
public static String traceDate(java.sql.Timestamp dt)
try
if (dt == null)
return " ";
else
Calendar clFmt = Calendar.getInstance();
clFmt.setTime(dt);
return
String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1) + "/" +
String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)) + "/" +
String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.YEAR)) + " " +
String.valueOf( (clFmt.get(Calendar.HOUR) == 0) ? 12 : clFmt.get(Calendar.HOUR) ) + ":" +
padLt(String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.MINUTE)),2) + ":" +
padLt(String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.SECOND)),2) + " " +
(clFmt.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.AM ? "AM" : "PM");
catch (Exception e)
throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage());
(padLt is a custom function that just pads 0s to the left of the number)
