Problem about aix and java.util.Date

Hello,
I am using AIX 5.1 with JDK 1.4 and i got a problem
using this JDK 1.4
I was using the jdk 1.2.2 and it gets to me the correct
date from the system ... i've never exported any environment
variable like lc_type, lang , etc ...
but now, using jdk 1.4, i get wrong time, one hour less,
can i have to export some environmental variable? which ones?
because i've tried with LANG=es_ES , LC_TYPE and it doesn't
work
thank you

It seems to have to do with default time zone.
You can consider explicitly defining the time zone you want the dates to be formatted against.

Oracle Timestamp and java.util.date

Greetings,
【Enviroment】
oracle 10g Express
jdbc 10.2.0.1.0 thin driver
windows Xp professinal
【problem】
I fetched a value of timestamp.
And I faced An Error that "java.sql.SQLException: Cannot set lastup_dt: incompatible types."
We define data type of lastup_dt is timestamp on Oracle.
And We define the data type of lastup_dt of javaBean is java.util.date.
And Ocurr SQLException at result = rsh.handle(rs);
How Can I avoid it?
public Object query(Connection conn, String sql, Object[] params,
ResultSetHandler rsh) throws SQLException {
PreparedStatement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
Object result = null;
try {
stmt = this.prepareStatement(conn, sql);
this.fillStatement(stmt, params);
rs = this.wrap(stmt.executeQuery());
result = rsh.handle(rs);
} catch (SQLException e) {
this.rethrow(e, sql, params);
} finally {
try {
close(rs);
} finally {
close(stmt);
return result;
Any help I appreciate it.
Thank you.

As long as you have the long representation of the time you can create a new java.util.Date:
new java.util.Date(ts.getTime())

Java.sql.Date and java.util.Date - class loaded first in the classpath

I had two jar files which has java.util.Date and java.sql.Date class file. i want to know whether which class is loaded first in the classpath...
I like to change the order of loading the class at runtime...
Is there is any way to change the order of loading of class...
I may have different version of jar files for example xerces,xercesImpl. some of the code uses xerces ,some of the code uses xercesImpl..i had common classes.
I like to load the class with the same name according to the order i need..
Can we do all these in Run time ?????

The classes you are referring to are part of the Java API. Third party jars have no impact on that. And you can't change to the order because java.sql.Data is derived from java.util.Date. So the second must load before the first.
And if you have two jar files with those classes in them (and not classes that use them) then you either should already know how to use them or you should stop trying to do whatever you are doing because it isn't going to work.

CreateQuery and java.util.Date

I have a database fiedl that has a Date type, so after creating my named query, I am setting the currenty date to the field using
query.setParameter("createDate", new java.util.Date());
I get a failure after doing this because TopLink gets an unexpectedToken EJBQLException in trying to parse "Fri" in the resulting query like this
p.createDate = Fri Dec 21 00:00:00 PST 2007
what should I do to get this query to run. I hope I am clear.
Michael

For java.sql.Date the spec. defines the following setParameter method (3.6.1 Query Interface):
* Bind an instance of java.util.Date to a named parameter.
* @param name
* @param value
* @param temporalType
* @return the same query instance
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if parameter name does not
* correspond to parameter in query string
public Query setParameter(String name, Date value, TemporalType
temporalType);

(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.

Java.util.Date is truncated up to days

Good day.
I'm using Oracle JDBC Drivers release 10.2.0.1.0 production (10g R2)
The problem is that my java.util.Date looses seconds.
If I perform INSERT into DB I get dd.MM.yyyy. Hours and seconds are lost.
I use PreparedStatements and setObject method to set java.util.Date into PreparedStatement.
I've read
[What is going on with DATE and TIMESTAMP?|http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.html#08_01]
I'm trying to make dbunit use oracle.jdbc.V8Compatible="true", but nothing helps.
I perform
System.setProperty( "oracle.jdbc.V8Compatible", "true" );
before making a connection, but it doesn't help.
Does anybody have overcoming such bug practice?

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)

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.

How can I use java.util.Date and change display format.

Hello All,
I want to use java.util.Date in View Context and in Custom Control Context of Web dynpro java. When i mapped of a Input Field to the java.util.Date then message shows that its not supported. Plz suggest me how to handle Date with different formats ??

If you always want the user to enter the date in dd/MM/yyyy, you can do the following.
Goto Local Dictonary -> Simple types in your project and create a type known as "InputDate" (or whatever you feel) of built-in type 'Date'.
Now specifiy its format in the 'Representation' tab as "dd/MM/yyyy" (case-senstive).
Now declare a value attribute say "inputdate" in your context with this type and bind the inputfield to this context value attribute.
This will solve your problem.
But if you want the user to input date depending on the region he belongs, change the default locale date in Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Change to English(UK) -> Customize -> Date Tab -> Sort Date Format to dd/MM/yyyy.
Now clear the cache, delete temporary files and restart the machine. This should solve the problem.

-d <directory>            specify where to place generated output files
<...snipped...>... where WebContent/WEB-INF/classes is the classpath where au.com.xxx.jaxb.DateAdapter.class could be found. Obviously it did not like it.
Also, why is wsimport generate org.w3._2001.xmlschema.Adapter1.java ? All it is doing is wrapping up the exact same call that I have specified in my DateAdapter. How can I tell wsimport or xjc to NOT create that extra Adapter1.java and simply directly use my DateAdapter ??

Java.util.Date and java.sql.Date

when i am trying to displaying date in my jsp page errors occurs saying that java.util.date and java.sql.date are matching..
i have some sql statements which i need to execute in the page.so i cant delete that import sql statement.
so what is the solution for this.
i want to display the date as 19th april 2003....in the jsp page.
thank u

You should use full names.
java.util.Date date;
java.sql.Date sdate;
..And it may be a good idea to delete one of the two "import" declaration of packages.

Conversions between java.util.Date, java.util.Timestamp and java.sql dates

I am coding a hoilday booking system using JSP to interact with a SQL Server database. On my JSP form which retrieves the information I have a little javascript pop-up date selector which appears to be returning a Timestamp value although the string value is visable in the entry field. Can I pass this to a javabean as a Timestamp, so far I have only passed strings? Also I then have to enter it in the database and so will need to convert it to an sql date type but I dont know which one is best. Previous to using the Timestamp returning calendar I was just entering text and parsing it to a util.Date in the bean and then converting that to an sql.Date for entry in the database. That worked fine but I want to use the pop-up any ideas? Also my bean won't compile if I declare java.util.Timestamp t;(cannot resolve symbol Timestamp !) even though I have imported util.

First of all, java.util.Timestamp does not exist. You probably need java.sql.Timestamp.
java.sql.Date and java.sql.Timestamp inherit from java.util.Date. So converting from java.sql.Date or java.sql.Timestamp to java.util.Date is easy, you don't have to do anything.
To convert a java.util.Date to a java.sql.Timestamp, do something like this:
import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.util.Date;
Date date = new Date();
Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(date.getTime());Jesper

Getting error by ValueBinding with java.util.Date

Hi.
1. my english is not so good.
I develop a JSF-application to learn more about JSF-technologie.
I use Eclipse 3.2
Plugins: Web Tools Platform (WTP), Web Standard Tools, Java Server Faces // Version 1.5.0
JRE: 1.5
java-impl.jar and java-api.jar (sun)
Look at this JSP-File Code
<h:inputText id="dbirth" value="#{dataBean.dbrith}"> </h:inputText>
this produce an error: EL expression does not evaluate to expected types for this attribute
dataBean is a ManagedBeain. So if I use any athor variable from this Bean like:
<h:inputText id="sname" value="#{dataBean.sname}"> </h:inputText>
is going well. But if I use any java.util.Date variable it produce the error.
I tried with other Bean and the error is still there.
I can compile and use this JSP, but this error is there.
Have any one an idea what is happen there??
I looked at Eclipse forums, but I didnt found description for an error like this..
thanks for any help...

The problem is because you have bound the inputText to a java.util.Date object, instead of a String. You must use Strings with inputText. However, JSF has provided a way for you to convert objects into a String. It just needs to know how to do that. Luckily for you, there is a converter already available to convert a Date object into a String. Converters will also take input Strings and convert them into an object.
So, in your case, use the convertDateTime tag. Like this:
<h:inputText id="dbirth" value=#{dataBean.dbrith}">
<f:convertDateTime type="date" pattern="MMM dd, yyyy" />
</h:outputText>Try it. You may change the pattern to whichever valid one you like.

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 :
E:\Oracle\oc4j1003\j2ee\home\application-deployments\Sachin-TradingEngineWS-WS\

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.

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

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) {

      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.
