          Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
          Date d1=df.parse(s);
          cal.setTime(d1);
          return cal;
     } if the source String is: 2008-09-04 17:54:09 my Calendar gets the value: Fri Jan 04 17:54:09 CET 2008

Can any one please tell what is simple date format for below format.

Edited by: Basil on Nov 4, 2008 7:43 AMRead the link for SimpleDateFormat and make one. How is that hard to understand? And it is what you have been being told from the beginning, and would have realised had you actually read the API docs pointed to. All the information you need to do so is there.

Simple Date Format

Hi,
I have an entity object with some attributes, one of them is called "CREATED_ON", which i have specified as a history column (created on).
I have specified a format type of Simple Date in my Control hint and a format of dd-MM-yyyy. I then created a view based on my entity and dragged the view as an adf creation form. I also dragged a commit button to commit my record.
However, the date that is stored in my database have a non-zero time component (e.g. 10-JUL-2007 10:46:22). This is a problem becuase in my search form, the search criteria does not work (it requires the exact time also to work). I do not want to use TRUNC in my SQL query.
Instead i want the date to be stored with the format mask that i have specified.
Can you please help me?
Thank you

Do you really want to lose the time component altogether, or just make the query on date-without-time work?
There would be no way of recovering the information about when during the day the row was created if you truncate the time information, but it's possible to achieve if that's what you want. Both are possible to achieve.
To achieve the "losing the current time info forever" approach, add the following overridden method in your entity impl class that slightly changes the way the history attribute value is returned, in my case, for the HIREDATE attribute of an Emp example:
    protected Object getHistoryContextForAttribute(AttributeDefImpl attributeDefImpl) {
        Object ret = super.getHistoryContextForAttribute(attributeDefImpl);
        if (attributeDefImpl.getIndex() == HIREDATE) {
            ret = new Date(new java.sql.Date(((Date)ret).getValue().getTime()));
        return ret;
    }To achieve # 2 instead, just add a SQL-derived attribute to the view object with formula:
TRUNC(HIREDATE)and then use that sql-derived attribute in the query form instead of the normal HIREDATE attribute.

Where am I going wrong. I hvae no problems with updating other records in the table except fot just these three patterns.
Help please.

Thanks Warren, both suggested codes did not work and I can see why now. Alex has pointed it out.
Alex brought me to realise Wickham's DOB is in the American format. The update query could not resolve that format and how to update it but at least it could have updated that of Beverly and left that of Wickham.
After deleting Wickham completely, the update query worked on Beverly.
Am just doing some data cleansing from a poorly designed Access database now meant for Oracle.
So nothing can be done to resolve such mixture of date formats, I mean Uk and American.
But now, Why are the update statement below coming with 0 records updated.
The dates to be update are written like this 15-August-1967 and 18.September.1961 respectively
--Code below is meant to update person Trump
Update x set dobupdate = to_char(to_date(dobupdate,'DD-MM-YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY')
where dobupdate like '__-__-____';
0 row/s updated
=========================================================
--Code below is meant to update person Orlando
Update x set dobupdate = to_char(to_date(dobupdate,'DD.MMMM.YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY')
where dobupdate like '__._____.____';

Help : Simple Date Formats Problem in JDev11 [TP4] ?

Hi ;
I use ADF/JSF in JDeveloper 11 [TP4].
in JSF Page
what can I do to enter Date format mask dd-mm-yyyy hh:mi:ss
to Return my Date Format mask like
mi-mm-yyyy meaning minute-month-year
in another column ?
and I know The format mask is defined in a File called formatinfo.xml .
Thanks & Regards
Forakora

Hi,
if it is for display then you don't need to change it in the model but can link the output text component to a managed bean that gets the stored date value to then change it to the format you prefer. This however may not be suitable if the date should be updated from that column

Reading simple date format

Hi,
I am attempting to use the simpledateformat in Java. I want it to read the inputted code, and store it, and then print it out again...
Here is what I have so far:
import java.util.*;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class Date     {
     //For date :
     static DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mm-yyyy");
     public static void main(String[] args)
          //for date in form (dd-mm-yyyy)
          //reads input fromm keyboard
          Scanner data = new Scanner(System.in);
          //Asks for you to type in date.
          System.out.println("Useby date: (dd-mm-yyyy)");
          //Takes input as string value
          String input = data.next();
          Date useby = null;
          try
               useby = df.parse(input);
          catch (ParseException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          //Prints useby date.
          System.out.println("Useby date: " + df.format(useby));
The line:
               useby = df.parse(input);
States that there is a type mismatch... "cannot convert from Date to Date"??? What does this mean???
I am unsure as to what all these lines mean as I got them off the net and was unsure about some of them...
If some1 could help it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I think your code is getting confused between java.util.Date and your own class's name, which is Date. Rename your class, and you should be fine.
By the way, please use code tags when posting code. See CODE button above posting box. That will format your code such that it is much more readable.

String str = "Fri May 13 2011 19:59:09 GMT 0530 (India Standard Time)";
str = str.replace("GMT ", "GMT +");
SimpleDateFormat sf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMMMMMMMMMM d yyyy H:m:s 'GMT' Z");Although not relevant to your actual problem the above will not work if '-' is used instead of the '+'. No idea why that is. It parses but seems to ignore the offset in that case.

Simple Date Format problem

I am having trouble with the following code. It works fine on one computer but not on another.
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getDefault());
Date date22 = cal.getTime();
System.out.println(date22);
String details = sdf.format(date22);
System.out.println(details);
StringTokenizer str = new StringTokenizer(details, "-", false);
The working ones output is:
Thu Jul 14 12:06:33 GMT 2005
14-07-2005-12-06-33
However on the computer where it doesn't work, I get this:
Fri Aug 05 13:13:59 BST 2005
Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
Which point to line: String details = sdf.format(date22);
From what I can see, the only difference is BST instead of GMT, but I can't seem to change this.
It is running under Windows.
Any help will be MUCH appreciated, as I am stumped!
Thanks. :)

The difference is that in the latter sdf is never assigned a non-null value. Since you didn't post the code that initializes sdf, we've got no way of knowing what went wrong.

Regarding java.util.date / simple date format

Hi Friends,
I have a weired requirement where I am suppose to get time in millisecond for 3 scenarios.
1. next 07:00 time
2. next monday 07:00
3. on next 1st 07:00
Swing provides some jar where I can get next day - but not sure if I can play around to get my data.
need your inputs.
appreciate your quick reply friends,
Chintan
P.S. the reason I have to do so is
1. I have 3 kind of reports - few reports expire daily - few weekly - few monthly.
2. I am going to fetch the report from the external system and store (cache) in my db.
3. Administrator can configure that when exactly the report is going to be updated in external system.
4. So lets say for daily - every day at 7 it will be updated - so when I read the cached data, I want to compare the stored time stamp with next 7:00 time stamp and if my stored timestamp is less than next 7:00 time stamp - i can use the cached data and similarly for weekly and monthly.
Please let me know if you have more questions.

I'll just add an example.
say I added a report to DB at 1188563489217 and my
cutoff is weekly that is on next monday at 7:00 in
the morning - at that time my milliseconds would be
1188783033888
now as far as my stored milliseconds are less than
1188783033888 i can read it from my db and if my
stored milliseconds are greater than 1188783033888
then I need to refetch the report.
Now for this task - every time i make a call to my DB
- i have to get time in milli seconds for next monday
7:00.
Is it possible??
I am badly struck over here - please guide.
Chintan
Appreciate your help buddies.
ChintanTake the hint if the date string is 35:11:2007 07:00 in dd:MM:yyyy HH:mm format then the parsed date will be 05:12:2007 07:00.
your problem is actually a piece of cake ;-)

Simple Date Formatting

I am a newbie to Java and was wondering if anyone knew of a easy way to format and date without having to write a whole function to format a date??

I need more information what you are trying to do?
Do you want to convert a string to a date are a date in one format to other.
I suggest you to go through the following class API
SimpleDateFormat
Hope this will help you get some info about formatting
Happy Coding

Format date with simple date format

Hello
I want to parse String to date. My method is
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
Then
Date date = dateFormat.parse("2007-17-1100 11:11");
It can be seen that the String "2007-17-1100" is invalid date. However, I donot know why it still can be parsed. Result is "Thu May 05 11:11:00 NZST 2011"
Could you please explain. I want this one cannot be parsed.
Many thanks
shoa

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new
SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
Then
Date date = dateFormat.parse("2007-17-110011:11");
>
IIn my knowledge there is only 12 months in a Year.There are. But as long as the parsing is 'lenient' it knows how to handle month numbers greater than 12.
@OP: Check out the setLenient() method. A setLenient(false) should make it work the way you want.

Problem with date format "dd-MM-yyyy"

hi all,
i am using jdev 10.1.3.2
My application ADF Swing app.
in my database i have a table employee which contains "birthday".
my problem is that i must use date format"dd-MM-yyyy".
i added this format into "formatinfo.xml" file.
than i choose it in my EO.
i create a form which contains employees.
for example i have an employee with a birthday=25-10-1970
in my text field if user puts "1970-10-25"'which is not the best format) he will have a correct result "25-10-1970"
but if user puts "25-10-1970" he will have as result "21-02-0031" which is not the real value.
please help me.
thanks.
PS: i did some research before posting but i didn't find yet

Rouz,
Did you try what i said before?
* Open you EntityObject
* Expand the attribute tree
* Choose your DOB attribute
* Choose the Control hints pane on the right
* Choose Formater: Simple date format
* Choose Format mask dd-MM-yyyy
Run your application and try it.
This is how i change the format and it works perfectly.
I uses the correct format to show the date and it enables me to edit the date using the format mask dd-MM-yyyy
Edit: I just tried it myself. I can only reproduce it by removing my mask. Ergo, the application expects the default american format yyyy-MM-dd. By entering a date in the format dd-MM-yyyy the framework will convert it to yyyy-MM-dd and you'll end up with 0031-02-21.
CONCLUSION follow the steps i discribed above to set your mask and you'll be fine.

BC4J Date format mask

After specifying a date format for an attribute of an entity object using Entity Object Editor - Control hints on the attributes.
Format type: Simple Date
Format: dd/MM/yyyy
When inputting the date manually rather than using the date picker, if only 2 digits are supplied for the year i.e 01/01/02 the resulting date is 01/01/0002, is there any way to force this so the user has to input 4 digits for the year?
Thanks

In a form you can set the format mask item property
whatever you want.
Usually we try to use DD-MON-YYYY without enclosing it single quotes. but you can try
' . . ' or simplly . .
and see what happens.

Date formating issue

Hi All,
I am receiving the Begin Date and End date from one of the RFCs and then using these dates for the import parameters of another RFC.
But the second RFC receives the dates either in YYYYMMDD or DD.MM.YYYY format.
The BeginDate and EndDate of the first RFC are binded to two input fileds so they appear as Date pickers in the runtime.
As I select the date range , I need to execute the second RFC before submition and so the Import of the Second RFC should receive the date range .
I have gone through many Forum threads but the way they are suggesting, returns me no right result. If I follow the Simple date Format, I parse the date and have a String output which the second RFC does not accept.
And if I assign the parsed value to the a Date type then I receive a null value for the same. I need your help , please suggest and guide.
Regards
DK

Hi Mohanthy,
As you told, BeginDate and EndDate of the first RFC are binded to two input fileds and the values of BeginDate and EndDate has to be sent as input fields to another RFC.
Just get the values from the node generated by first rfc and set them to the i/p node of second rfc.
Date Format should not be a issue in this case and for your information the date which is used by RFC is Java.SQL.DATE Class.

Kiran Kumar
