Java.util.Date deprecated methods, looking for new ones

Hi,
I can't find anywhere.
I'm looking for Date methods, exactly like
getYear();
getDay();
but i don't want them being deprecated.
I want to get an INT out of a Date (Year, Day, ...)
please give me a link, name of a fucntion or something.
Thanks

Look at the API docs. It says that you have to use the methods in java.util.Calendar instead.

    This isn't a JSP question, it better belongs in the JavaProgramming, or JDBC forums.
    But the problem is because the updateDate method uses a java.sql.Date object and you are giving it a java.util.Date object. You have to convert from java.util.Date to java.sql.Date. See: [the api for java.sql.Date|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html] .

    Hi!
    You can use GregorianCalendar.getInstance().getTime() which returns current data as instance of Date class for default time zone and locale.

  • Java.sql.Date vs java.util.Date vs. java.util.Calendar

    All I want to do is create a java.sql.Date subclass which has the Date(String) constructor, some checks for values and a few other additional methods and that avoids deprecation warnings/errors.
    I am trying to write a wrapper for the java.sql.Date class that would allow a user to create a Date object using the methods:
    Date date1 = new Date(2003, 10, 7);ORDate date2 = new Date("2003-10-07");I am creating classes that mimic MySQL (and eventually other databases) column types in order to allow for data checking since MySQL does not force checks or throw errors as, say, Oracle can be set up to do. All the types EXCEPT the Date, Datetime, Timestamp and Time types for MySQL map nicely to and from java.sql.* objects through wrappers of one sort or another.
    Unfortunately, java.sql.Date, java.sql.Timestamp, java.sql.Time are not so friendly and very confusing.
    One of my problems is that new java.sql.Date(int,int,int); and new java.util.Date(int,int,int); are both deprecated, so if I use them, I get deprecation warnings (errors) on compile.
    Example:
    public class Date extends java.sql.Date implements RangedColumn {
      public static final String RANGE = "FROM '1000-01-01' to '8099-12-31'";
      public static final String TYPE = "DATE";
       * Minimum date allowed by <strong>MySQL</strong>. NOTE: This is a MySQL
       * limitation. Java allows dates from '0000-01-01' while MySQL only supports
       * dates from '1000-01-01'.
      public static final Date MIN_DATE = new Date(1000 + 1900,1,1);
       * Maximum date allowed by <strong>Java</strong>. NOTE: This is a Java limitation, not a MySQL
       * limitation. MySQL allows dates up to '9999-12-31' while Java only supports
       * dates to '8099-12-31'.
      public static final Date MAX_DATE = new Date(8099 + 1900,12,31);
      protected int _precision = 0;
      private java.sql.Date _date = null;
      public Date(int year, int month, int date) {
        // Deprecated, so I get deprecation warnings from the next line:
        super(year,month,date);
        if(! isWithinRange(this))
          throw new ValueOutOfRangeException((RangedColumn)this, "" + this);
      public Date(String s) {
        super(0l);
        // Start Cut-and-paste from java.sql.Date.valueOf(String s)
        int year;
        int month;
        int day;
        int firstDash;
        int secondDash;
        if (s == null) throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException();
        firstDash = s.indexOf('-');
        secondDash = s.indexOf('-', firstDash+1);
        if ((firstDash > 0) & (secondDash > 0) & (secondDash < s.length()-1)) {
          year = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(0, firstDash)) - 1900;
          month = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(firstDash+1, secondDash)) - 1;
          day = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(secondDash+1));
        } else {
          throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException();
        // End Cut-and-paste from java.sql.Date.valueOf(String s)
        // Next three lines are deprecated, causing warnings.
        this.setYear(year);
        this.setMonth(month);
        this.setDate(day);
        if(! isWithinRange(this))
          throw new ValueOutOfRangeException((RangedColumn)this, "" + this);
      public static boolean isWithinRange(Date date) {
        if(date.before(MIN_DATE))
          return false;
        if(date.after(MAX_DATE))
          return false;
        return true;
      public String getRange() { return RANGE; }
      public int getPrecision() { return _precision; }
      public String getType() { return TYPE; }
    }This works well, but it's deprecated. I don't see how I can use a java.util.Calendar object in stead without either essentially re-writing java.sql.Date almost entirely or losing the ability to be able to use java.sql.PreparedStatement.get[set]Date(int pos, java.sql.Date date);
    So at this point, I am at a loss.
    The deprecation documentation for constructor new Date(int,int,int)says "instead use the constructor Date(long date)", which I can't do unless I do a bunch of expensive String -> [Calendar/Date] -> Milliseconds conversions, and then I can't use "super()", so I'm back to re-writing the class again.
    I can't use setters like java.sql.Date.setYear(int) or java.util.setMonth(int) because they are deprecated too: "replaced by Calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, int date)". Well GREAT, I can't go from a Date object to a Calendar object, so how am I supposed to use the "Calendar.set(...)" method!?!? From where I'm sitting, this whole Date deprecation thing seems like a step backward not forward, especially in the java.sql.* realm.
    To prove my point, the non-deprecated method java.sql.Date.valueOf(String) USES the DEPRECATED constructor java.util.Date(int,int,int).
    So, how do I create a java.sql.Date subclass which has the Date(String) constructor that avoids deprecation warnings/errors?
    That's all I really want.
    HELP!

    I appreciate your help, but what I was hoping to accomplish was to have two constructors for my java.sql.Date subclass, one that took (int,int,int) and one that took ("yyyy-MM-dd"). From what I gather from your answers, you don't think it's possible. I would have to have a static instantiator method like:public static java.sql.Date createDate (int year, int month, int date) { ... } OR public static java.sql.Date createDate (String dateString) { ... }Is that correct?
    If it is, I have to go back to the drawing board since it breaks my constructor paradigm for all of my 20 or so other MySQL column objects and, well, that's not acceptable, so I might just keep my deprecations for now.

  • What's wrong with java.util.Date??

    Hi all,
    I was just practicing a bit of java.util ,when i was compiling my code-
    import java.util.Date;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    class DateStamp{
    public static void Main(String args[]){
    doDate1;
    String D;
    int D1,D2,D3;
    Date dt=new Date();
    SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mm-yyyy");
    /*When using method .setDate(x) ,is x an integer or String?can x=2/5/2002 or 2-5-2002?*/
    public void doDate1{
    dt.setDay(12);
    dt.setMonth(12);
    dt.setYear(102);
    D=dt.getTime();
    D.parseInt(D1);D=""
    D=sdf.getTime();
    D.parseInt(D2);
    int D3=D2-D1;
    int D3=D3/86400000;/*How do you convert milisec-to-days?*/
    D=D3.toString().
    System.out.println(D+"days have elapsed since then");

    this problem is persistant, and i'm a java newbie ,Does anyone know what's wrong here?
    Thanks!

    How do you get System date onto a Date variable?Calendar.getInstance().getTime() returns a java.util.Date for the current time. You can also use System.currentTimeMillis() and turn it into a Date.
    Will date.after(Date when) method work when Date
    variables are in milisecs?Date.after(Date when) compares two date objects. As the JavaDoc says "Returns:
    true if and only if the instant represented by this Date object is strictly later than the instant represented by when" To me that says that milliseconds are taken into account, I.E. comparing dates actually compares the date plus the time portion.
    >
    What methods-
    *Convert a date(dd/mm/yy) to milisec?If you look in the javaDoc you'll see "long getTime() Returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT represented by this Date object." Calendar also has the getTimeInMillis() method.
    *Convert a milisec value to a date(dd/mm/yy)?Calendar.setTimeInMillis(long);
    I'm have this little problem.
    When using GregorianCalander-
    *need to initialize?
    *need set today's date?Calendar.getInstance() will return an appropriate Calendar object for the current locale initialized to the current date/time.
    *how do you check if a date exceeds 3 weeks?I'm not sure what you mean. There are a couple of roll(...) methods that will allow you to add a unit of time to a date. I.E. you could add three weeks to a date.
    To ignore the time portion of a date just set the time to "00:00"

  • Error while deploying a web service whose return type is java.util.Date

    Hi
    I have written a simple web service which takes in a date input (java.util.Date) and returns the same date back to the client.
    public interface Ping extends Remote
    * A simple method that pings the server to test the webservice.
    * It sends a datetime to the server which returns the datetime.
    * @param pingDateRequest A datetime sent to the server
    * @returns The original datetime
    public Date ping(Date pingDateRequest) throws RemoteException;
    The generation of the Web service related files goes smoothly in JDeveloper 10g. The problem arises when I try to deploy this web service on the Oracle 10g (10.0.3) OC4J standalone. it gives me the following error on the OC4J console :

    I read somewhere that the conversion between java to xml datatype and vice versa fails for java.util.Date, so it is better to use java.util.Calendar. When I change the code to return a java.util.Calendar then the JDeveloper prompts me the following failure:
    Method Ping: the following parameter types do not have an XML Schema mapping and/or serializer specified : java.util.Calendar.
    This forces me to return a String data.
    I would appreciate if someone can help me out.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I got the web service working with some work around. But I am not sure it this approach would be right and good.
    I started altogether afresh. I did the following step :
    1. Created an Interface (Ping.java) for use in web Service as follows :
    public interface Ping extends Remote{
    public java.util.Date ping(java.util.Date pingDateRequest)
    throws RemoteException;
    2. Implemented the above interface in PingImpl.java as follows :
    public class PingImpl implements Ping
    public java.util.Date ping(java.util.Date pingDateRequest) throws RemoteException {
    System.out.println("PingImpl: ping() return datetime = " + pingDateRequest.toString());
    return pingDateRequest;
    3. Compiled the above 2 java files.
    4. Generated a Stateless Java Web Service with the help of JDeveloper. This time the generation was sucessful.(If I had "java.util.Calendar" in place of "java.util.Date" in the java code of the above mentioned files the web service generation would prompt me for error)
    5. After the generation of Web Service, I made modification to the Ping interface and its implementing class. In both the files I replaced "java.util.Date" with "java.util.Calendar". The modified java will look as follows :
    Ping.Java
    =========
    public interface Ping extends Remote{
    public java.util.Calendar ping(java.util.Calendar pingDateRequest)
    throws RemoteException;
    PingImpl.Java
    ================
    public class PingImpl implements Ping
    public java.util.Calendar ping(java.util.Calendar pingDateRequest) throws RemoteException {
    System.out.println("PingImpl: ping() return datetime = " + pingDateRequest.toString());
    return pingDateRequest;
    6. Now I recompile both the java files.
    7. Withour regenerating the Web Service I deploy the Web Service on OC4j 10.0.3 from JDeveloper. This time the deployment was sucessful.(The Deployment fails if I don't follow the step 5.)
    8. Now I generated a Stub from JDeveloper and accessed the stub from a client. It works fine. Here if you see the Stub code it takes java.util.Date as a parameter and returns a java.util.Date. (Mind you I am accepting a java.util.Calendar and returning the same in my Web Service interface. Step 5)
    The confusing thing is the Serialization and Deserialization of Data from Client java data to Soap message and Soap message to Server java data.
    From Client to SOAP :
    java.util.Date to datetime
    From SOAP to Server :
    datetime to java.util.Calendar
    From Server to SOAP :
    java.util.Calendar to datetime
    From SOAP to Client :
    datetime to java.util.Date (I am not able to understand this part of the conversion)
    Any help or inputs would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Why not Deprecate java.util.Date and java.util.Calendar

    With the introduction of java.time, why did you not flag java.util.Date and java.util.Calendar. These classes have been a bane to every Java developer and should never be used again with the introduction of Java 1.8.

    Adding the @Deprecated annotation would only just provide a warning about an old API and recommendation to the developer(s) to no longer use it. Doing so would not break any existing library out there; in fact quite a number of constructors and methods on the Date class have already been flagged deprecated.
    The new java.time package is far superior to Date/Calendar.

  • What's wrong with java.util.Date type?

    Hi!
    When I try to persist object having field of type java.util.Date I get the

    I've created my own dictionary with dateToSQL() method overridden.
    Now it works fine. But it's a kind of strange. Oracle is used often and my
    JDBC drivers
    are the most recent (at least, from the oracle.com).
    Anyway, thank you again.

    Patric,
    Thank you for response.
    We're using Oracle 8.1.7 via OCI driver from Oracle 9.2.
    I've already tried 2.4.0 and it works fine there but I've found another
    problem there
    preventing me from using it. See my post in solarmetric.kodo.betanewsgroup.

    That's odd -- what version of Oracle are you using?
    Moving to Kodo JDO 2.4.0
    (http://www.solarmetric.com/Software/beta/2.4.0) will almost certainly
    get rid of this problem, as we use exclusively prepared statements in
    it, and therefore pass dates etc. to JDBC as parameters.
    But, to get things working with your Oracle database and Kodo JDO 2.3,
    you could create your own extension of OracleDictionary and override the
    dateToSQL() method to generate the appropriate TO_DATE() syntax. See our
    documentation for more details on creating custom database dictionaries.

  • How can i compare:  java.util.Date oracle.jbo.domain.Date?

    I have made a ViewObject wich contains a date column.
    I want to check if this date is smaller/greater than sysdate:

    etcetera
    how can i compare those 2?

    Hi,
    oracle.jbo.domain.Date has two methods which suit your needs
    longValue() which returns a long (though I'm not sure if returns a long comparable to the long returned by java.util.Date)
    and dateValue() which returns a java.util.Date
    I hope it helps,
    Giovanni

    how can i compare those 2? You cannot compare these two values directly. You must convert the oracle.jbo.domain.Date object to a GregorianCalendar object. Something like:
      oracle.jbo.domain.Date dt = singleRow.getEO_ULN_BORROWFROM();
      GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar(dt.getYear(), dt.getMonth(), dt.getDay());
      if (calendar.getTime() < gc.getTime())

  • Java.util.Date badly serialized to java.sql.Timestamp Coherence 3.5.2

    Hi all,
    I'm running into this odd behaviour.
    I serialize java.util.Date objects to cache and when I read them back from cache, they appear to be java.sql.Timestamp types.
    I've isolated a junit test for that.
    Do you know why Coherence changes the type in the middle?

  • Question about java.util.date

    hello all. could anyone please help me or give me some input about a small problem i have run in to. okay, im writing a program that will read in 3 different text files and have them sorted into array lists. well i am working on the 3 main class definitions and i have run into a problem. the first 2 classes i just created strings and then ran a equals and a compareTo on them to determine which entry would be first alphabetically when it is entered into the database. well on the last class.. i wanted to do the same thing (create 2 strings and compare them that way).. but i have a java.util.date variable that i am dealing with. is it okay to read in the date into a string like i have been doing? or do i need to do something else.. i am posting the code below so please have a look and get back to me. thanks in advance!
    lastName (is a String)
    firstName (is a String)
    title (is a String)

  • (Again) java.util.Date vs java.sql.Date

    Hi there,
    (Again) Im trying to understand the EXACT difference between
    java.util.Date vs java.sql.Date.
    Googling, I can see that this is a very "popular" subject, but I still
    cannot figure out it exactly.
    Many writers claim that java.sql.Date only stores the DATE part (yyyy-
    mm-dd) but not the TIME part (hh:MM:ss) of a Date/Time value, but that
    I can easily disprove:
                    java.util.Date ud = new java.util.Date();                 java.sql.Date sd = new java.sql.Date(ud.getTime());                 System.out.println(DateFormatUtils.                                 format(ud, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS"));                 System.out.println(DateFormatUtils.                                 format(sd, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS"));
    Output:
                    2009-09-18 15:17:36.635                 2009-09-18 15:17:36.635
    So, apparently, java.sql.Date and java.util.Date have THE SAME
    precision (at least down to the millisecs...).
    And the official API documentation, really looks more confusing than
    helpful to me::
    *"java.sql.Date:*
    *A thin wrapper around a millisecond value that allows JDBC to identify*
    *this as an SQL DATE value. A milliseconds value represents the*
    *number of milliseconds that have passed since January 1, 1970*
    *00:00:00.000 GMT.*
    *To conform with the definition of SQL DATE, the millisecond values*
    *wrapped by a java.sql.Date instance must be 'normalized' by setting*
    *the hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds to zero in the*
    *particular time zone with which the instance is associated. "*
    Exactly what means "an SQL DATE value" ? How EXACTLY does it differ
    from a java.util.Date value?
    Most importantly: WHY does JDBC need to distinguish between them?
    And, here again: *"a java.sql.Date instance must be 'normalized' by*
    *setting the hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds to zero in the*
    *particular time zone..."*
    What does that mean exactly? Apparently, the constructor doesnt
    enforce this restriction, per the example above. So what's the REAL
    point with this type, java.sql.Date?
    Very greatful, if you can help me clarify this, once and for all.
    TIA,

    And the official API documentation, really looks more confusing than helpful to me:The problem is that you need to understand SQL as well as Java for this to make sense. It's not the Java API's job to tell you how your SQL database works - there's a myriad of subtle differences even when the DB is compliant with the SQL spec.
    Most compliant databases support DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP values. DATE represents only a date. TIME represents only a time. TIMESTAMP represents both. There are further complicating factors, but that's roughly how it stands.
    In Java the normal type for representing time is (or was when the API was created) the java.util.Date but this is a close approximation only to the TIMESTAMP value. In order to bring the two together the java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time and java.sql.Timestamp classes were created. Making them derive from java.util.Date was probably not a good idea.
    java.util.Date suffers from a number of deficiencies. java.util.Calendar was supposed to address them but didn't really succeed. The JodaTime library is rather better, but it's all a lot more complicated than you might expect - partly because time management really is a much harder problem than it appears at first glance - there are timezones, leap years, leap seconds, the difference between astronomical and atomic time, and so on and so forth.
