Java.text.SimpleDateFormat millisecond problem...

When I run this code:
java.text.SimpleDateFormat formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat();
formatter.applyLocalizedPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.000000");
java.util.Date date1 = formatter.parse("2001-08-14 13:49:38.000000", new java.text.ParsePosition(0) );
System.out.println("Date 1 = " + date1);
formatter.applyLocalizedPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS000");
java.util.Date date2 = formatter.parse("2001-08-14 13:49:38.000000", new java.text.ParsePosition(0) );
System.out.println("Date 2 = " + date2);
The output is:
Date 1 = Tue Aug 14 13:49:38 GMT+01:00 2001
Date 2 = null
The only difference is in the localized pattern, date 1 is generated where milliseconds aren't in the localized pattern, date 2 is generated where milliseconds are in the localized pattern.
Why is date2 null????

Hi! When you use the second pattern, it appears that "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS000" is not an acceptable pattern. However, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS" works. I'd hazard a guess that when you specify milliseconds, only three places are allowed.
If you used pattern #2 as you had specified originally, a java.text.ParseException is thrown. With the above modification, it works as expected.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

Java.text.SimpleDateFormat with zones

Hi,
I have a log file which has a date format as below:
20091224060656.000000+060
Wondering if java.text.SimpleDateFormat would be able to parse it properly.I was seeing this API and it didnot have any exact syntax for parsing this kind of date format.
Please let me know.
Regards
Sayan

Hi,
Thank you for the response.The problem is this is one our client's log file which we are trying to parse using the java.text.SimpleDateFormat from our own java application.
Hence not sure about +060. I guess the part after the . represent the zone , please correct me.But +060 not sure what this means and I dont think java.text.SimpleDateFormat has a way to parse this.
Please let me know your comments.Uhm, you need to "tell" SimpleDateFormat what the format is, if you don't know how to interpret the format, how are you going to be able to configure SimpleDateFormat. Contact your "client" and make sure you understand the format, then look at the API docs for SimpleDateFormat and hammer out a pattern string for that format. (But I would assume that the "part after the dot" is second fragments (smaller than milliseconds but larger than nanoseconds, about half-way between, what the name for that is, I'm not sure), and that the part with the "plus" is the timezone, probably +060 is the same as +0600.) IOW, you will probably have to "preprocess" the string removing the last three digits before the "plus" and adding a 0 to the end, but that is only a guess.

HOWTO improve java.text.SimpleDateFormat.parse() performace?!!

I am using SimpleDateFormat to parse the dates. The dates I am parsing have the time zone in format "+0500". So I am using the "z" format to parse it.
After doing some CPU profile tests, it turns out that I am spending 33% of my entire processing time in parsing the time zones!!! Which is obviously too much time. Is there a way to improve performance on the time zone parsing? I made sure that only one SimpleDateFormat object is created when my application is initialized and I only use the parse() method repeatedly - so that the initialization cost would remain minimum.
Also are there any other implementations of java.text.DateFormat which will perform better?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Yash

Are you using "z" or "Z". Upper case is right one.

Java.text.SimpleDateFormat.parse()

This method does too much than I expected, say:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date d = sdf.parser("00/00/0000");The d would be 1999, Nov. 30.
After hacked the source code and some testing, I found it will roll backward or forward to generate a date. So, 01/32/2000 would become Feb. 01 2000. But I don't think this is a good implementation, as I expect it could throw exceptions at runtime if the string is not a valid time sting. And it's very difficult to debug, since any digit could be parsed!
I think you guys here know what's behind the scene and why it's implemented like this. Any idea? Do you agree that the parse method should throw an exception when the fields of a date string're out of range? Or am I missing something?
Comments are welcomed, and duke dollars're ready for those good answers.

change your code as follows at it will do what you expected in the first places:
<code>
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
sdf.setLenient(false);
Date d = sdf.parser("00/00/0000");
</code>

Java.util.text.SimpleDateFormat.parse strange behavior

Wow !
if I parse "10/14/2002" I get "0/2/2003", that is, the month 14 is considered 12 (december) + 2 additional months and therefore february in the next year!!
any idea ?
Paolo Denti
=============================
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
java.util.Date testDate = null;
java.text.SimpleDateFormat formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
try {
testDate = formatter.parse("10-14-2002");
catch (java.text.ParseException e) {
System.out.println("Data scassata: " + e.getMessage());
System.exit(1);
System.out.println(testDate.toString());
=================================
prints "Mon Feb 10 00:00:00 CET 2003"

Tryformatter.setLenient(false);if you do not want this behaviour.

Java.text.ParseException:Unparseable date

Whilst using the DBMS_XMLSave.updateXML procedure I am having problems parsing a date which is the format dd/mm/yy
I have tried to use the following procedure to set the date format :
DBMS_XMLSave.setDateFormat(updCtx,'DD/MM/YY');
Unfortunately it is not working, as the parser still does not recognise the date format, it seems to want the time element.
please may somebody advise on some possible solutions

The date formats must match java date formats not Oracle date formats. For a list of valid date formats please check http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/java.text.SimpleDateFormat.html

Hi friends,
I am a software developer ,working on java/j2ee.currently i am working in a document management software related to logistics.Here i am facing a problem at the time of open the zip file through windows XP's in built software called "Folder compress".It's creared through java.util.zip.zipoutputstream.but at time of open through xp compress folder software ,it's showing error that "you can't open this file , this file are protected for your computer security" , but when i trying to open it through winzip or winrar, it's not giving any problem.My also specefing the code snippet below :-
ZipOutputStream zip = null;
 FileOutputStream fileWriter = null;
 try
 fileWriter = new FileOutputStream(destZipFile);
 zip = new ZipOutputStream(fileWriter);
 //required for XP compress
 zip.setMethod(ZipOutputStream.DEFLATED);
 zip.setLevel(Deflater.DEFAULT_COMPRESSION); //use default level
 }catch (Exception ex){
 ex.printStackTrace();
 System.exit(0);
 addFolderToZip("", srcFolder, zip);
 try
 zip.flush();
 zip.close();
 zip=null;
 fileWriter.close();
 fileWriter = null;
 }catch (Exception ex)
 //ex.printStackTrace();
 logger.log("net.mlog.edoc.ejb.session.EdocRetrieveServiceSLBean.ProcessException","Exception in Zip folder processing");
 }I desperately looking for a help regarding this issue , if any body have any solution the please send at this forum.
Thanks,
Chiranjit

this file working file for winzip or winrar there is no problem.i am also sending the whole code of that java file that can help you better.

Java.text.ParseException :UnparseableDate

Hi,
Iam trying to convert a String into Date and that Date in to a customized Date format...,Here it is what iam doing..
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;
public class str2date
public static void main(String[] args)
try
String mystr="01-03-2003";
     SimpleDateFormat converttodt=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss");
     java.util.Date mydt=converttodt.parse(mystr.trim());
     System.out.println("mydt"+mydt);
     String output=converttodt.format(mydt);
     System.out.println(output);
     catch(ParseException e)
     System.out.println(e.toString());
Error:"java.text.ParseException :UnparseableDate 01-03-2003"
Can any one help me out... URGENT...,
Thanks in Advance
Rao.

Well, the problem is right in front of you. You're telling it the format of the date is going to be
yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss
and then you're giving it the date in a format of
MM-dd-yyyy
and wondering why it's not accepting it? If you want to input a date from one format and output it in another you need to create two SimpleDateFormat objects, one to parse the date from a String to a Date object, and a second (or reuse the first with a different parse string) to format the Date and output it as a String.

Parse Exception : java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date

I have inherited a UDF in some mapping that on the whole, works okay...
but it throws an error after mapping a few dates:
Parse Exception : java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2010-03-18T00:00:00.000Z"
Parse Exception : java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2010-03-23T23:59:00.000Z"
Parse Exception : java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2010-03-18T00:00:00.000Z"
Parse Exception : java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2010-03-23T23:59:00.000Z"
Parse Exception : java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2010-03-18T00:00:00.000Z"
Parse Exception : java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2010-03-23T23:59:00.000Z"
the first few map okay... then i get the exception.
the UDF is as follows:
public String convertDateTimeToUTC(String strDate, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
AbstractTrace trace = container.getTrace();
Date date=null;
SimpleDateFormat sdfSource = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
try{
String dt = strDate;
date = sdfSource.parse(dt);
trace.addInfo("Local Date:"+date);
SimpleDateFormat sdfDestination = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
strDate = sdfDestination.format(date);
catch(ParseException pe){
trace.addInfo("Parse Exception : " + pe);
return strDate;
can anyone see why this fails after successfully mapping a few fields???

the first mapping works correctly...
then we reuse the same fields to map to the additional segments.
the context is correct as it is trying to pull the same fields in... it just throw the error with the same data in the same UDF/Function Library but for different segments! :o(
http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/3104/dateconversion.jpg
as you can see from the screenshot above, the mapping works in the first instance, then fails on subsequent nodes.

Hi,
Try this
The reason for this error is that the time format entered is not correct. It should be a date and 24-hour format expressed as mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss. For example: 07/15/10 14:30:00.
The WebLogic Server 11g documentation gives instructions for Date/Time format. For details, please refer to
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e13952/pagehelp/Diagnosticsdiagnosticsviewmetricslogtabletitle.html
Solution
However, since you cannot open the Domain Log page again because the console hangs or reports a "Redirect Loop" error, you cannot modify this wrong time format on the console. To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:
Stop WebLogic Server.
Go to directory <Domain>/servers/<Server_Name>/data/console
Either open ConsolePreferences.xml and modify the value of startrange (and/or endrange) to a correctly formatted time, e.g. 07/15/10 14:30:00
OR
Delete ConsolePreferences.xml entirely.
Start Weblogic Server again.
Regards,
Kal

Java.text.DecimalFormat Error

I have this import directive in my jsp page.
<%@ page import="java.io.*,java.sql.*;java.text.DecimalFormat" contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
I am using Jdeveloper 9i 9.0.3.
When I compile this page from within JDeveloper I get this error for java.text.DecimalFormat
Error: 'class' or 'interface' expected
When I compile outside JDeveloper, I get NO error.
Can somebody tell me what the problem is.

<%@ page import="java.io.*;java.sql.*;java.text.DecimalFormat" contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
I think that missing semi-colon is what's creating problems for you.

thanks in advence

I didn't take time to look through your code too closely but here is some code that might help. The pullDate method reads a string from a JTextField (textField) and tries to return a Date. If it can't format it then it returns null. It tries to format the text based on the formats listed. If it can't format the text using one then it tries the next until it runs out of them. Change the formats to whatever you like. Good luck.

The JAVA program for "Philosopher Problem"

When I learn the book of "Operating Systems (Design and Implementation)"(written by Andrew S.Tanenbaum), I try to write a program for the "Philosopher Problem" . In the book there is a sample of this problem in C language, and I write it in JAVA. The following is my program, I have tested it. It is correct, but maybe it is not the most efficient way to solve the problem. Can you think out a more efficient program in JAVA to solve this problem?

this problem is about learning how to use threads/synchronise objects etc, the efficiency of the code isn't really an issue, if that's what you mean. As for the efficiency of the solution, it's very hard to tell how efficient it is, but as long as all the philosphers get to eat there's no problem. I haven't really scrutized your code, but I'm not sure that you have a deadlock free solution: as long as it is possible for all the phils to pick up one fork at the same time there's a problem, and it seems from your code that each philosopher will pick up "his" fork. Again, I could be wrong, I haven't really looked. If you haven't come up with a solution, try drawing it on paper and working it out, or if you're lazy a quick google will probably give you the answer, but I'm pretty sure nobody here will :)

BI setup: WebAS ABAP Setting - Java to ABAP communication problem

Hello,
i've got a problem during intallation of BI in Netweaver 2004s. The Diagnostics & Support Desktop Tool reports errors in WebAS ABAP Settings. These errors are:
- "Web Template Validation failed due Java to ABAP communication problem (return code:ERSBOLAP018)" with the suggested solution "Check Connector Connection of System Object in Portal System Landscape". What does it mean?
- "Call ABAP->Java for function RSWR_RFC_SERVICE_TEST failed for destination <destination>" and "Call ABAP->Java for function RSRD_MAP_TO_PORTAL_USERS failed for destination <destination>" with suggested solution "Check the data of the destination in transaction SM59. Check that the target host is running and has registered a program id in the gateway." Run of transaction SM59 returns no errors.
Further i've take a look in the log 'dev_jrfc.trc' and there i found the errors:
- Exception thrown by application running in JCo Server
java.lang.RuntimeException: Bean RSRD_MAP_TO_PORTAL_USERS not found on host <host>
- Exception thrown by application running in JCo Server
java.lang.RuntimeException: Bean RSWR_RFC_SERVICE_TEST not found on host <host>
- Exception thrown by application running in JCo Server
java.lang.RuntimeException: Bean RSWR_PREEXECUTION_PROXY not found on host <host>
Can these errors be the cause of the WebAS ABAP Setting error displayed in the Diagnostics & Support Desktop Tool? How they can be solved?
Thanks for your help,
Martin

Hello Chetan,
thanks for your response. Maybe i've described my problem not clear enough. There is no problem of installation and usage of support & dektop tool, but of installation of BI. The support & dektop tool indicates the errors described above with no other hints. My questions is, if anybody knows, what is the cause of the errors and what i must do, to install BI correctly.
Cheers,
Martin

URGENT: Entering Chinese into Java Text Area

Hi,
This might be an FAQ question but some of the info I've gotten over the web so far is conflicting.
How do I allow a user to enter Chinese text into a Java Text Area (using an english keyboard)?
All my users have:
English Windows 2000 with a multilanguage pack. I cannot change this.
But, I can specify any downloads (IMEs, etc.) and I can choose whichever version of Java I desire.
Please let me know what is the simplist way to enable Chinese data entry in this environment. Let me know if I need to create my own input type :( or I can use MS Global IME) or if there are other third party chinese input types (even if they are not free).
Thank you and have a nice day.
Best Regards,
Carlos

Thanks for the note. The news was depressing - but things are much clearer now :) I would like one more clarification, though -
On the MS site, I quote
Any user who needs to input East Asian text across the language platforms of Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT 4.0 could use Global IME.
"Note: On Windows 2000, the Global IMEs work in any application since that OS has full-featured East Asian input support built in. On Windows Millennium, Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows NT 4.0, the Global IMEs work only in supporting applications."
When they say they say "full-featured East Asian input support built-in" does that exclude Java? If it would work, would it work with Swing or only AWT?
Any thoughts? Thanks again for your not, I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me with this clarification.
Best Regards,
Carlos
