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.

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
ForakoraHi,
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 -
Hi users,
Forte version : 2.e.2 and ForteWebSDK
Datacase : Oracle
We have a problem with a simple HTML text field which acccepts
a date. When we try to update the record with some date, the following
exception occurs:
24-Jun-1998 04:32:28 : XV01086 : Execute failed for SQL statement in
project Rap
tServices, class RaptSqlMethods, method updateActivity, methodId 104,
line 51, e
rror from database is:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input
string
The Oracle manual says that the above exception occurs when there are
some extra characters on that field, which is not the case. In fact,
we raise our own exception for the cases like : o1-Apr-1997,
01-apr-97 etc. The correct format is 01-apr-1998.
Same date soemtimes is added to the database successfully. Waht I mean
to say that the exception deos not occur consistently.
We just conevert the String taken from the HTML field into a Forte
DateTimeData Object and send it to database. May be, the conversion
part is causing the problem. But, once again the problem is not
consistent.
Any ideas in this will be appreciated.
Thanx in advance

Searchable thread archive <URL:http://pinehurst.sageit.com/listarchive/>We had the same problem when our application first went live. The
default date format for our Oracle database is 'dd-mmm-yy' without the
time component. The default format for datatype DateTimeData is
'dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss'. Since we did not want to change the default date
format for the Database, we included in our service partitions an Alter
Session statement to change the NLS_Date_format attribute in Oracle to
conform to the Forte DateTimeData format. It worked.

Subject: Re: Date Format problem...
I was having the same problem a few weeks back when I would
read/write
dates to Oracle. I was using objects of type DateTimeData and I would
occasionally get errors like you said you were. I found discovered my
problem. Sometimes I would process a null date and would get an error.
So to
resolve this issue, I simply changes my objects of type DateTimeData to
type
DateTimeNullable. This enabled my Forte Application to handle regular
dates
as well as null dates. I have not gotten any oracle errors since then
with
regards to dates. Hope this helps.

Hello All
Can anyone help me to solve this data format problem? On the top of my program, I have declare the two variables "purchasePrice" and "purchaseAmount" as double. I dont know why, the compiler still think I didnt initialize this two variables? I have printed the error message below the code.
Thanks for your help : )
Jen
=============================================================================
double purchasePrice, purchaseAmount, GPS, total_gain, amount;
//Find the purchase stock price
rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Price FROM PORTFOLIO WHERE Username = '"+ username+"' AND Symbol = '"+strsymbol+"'");
while (rs.next()){
purchasePrice = rs.getDouble("Price");
//Calculate the amount of Gain Per Share
GPS = intask - purchasePrice;
//Find the purchase stock amount
rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Amount FROM PORTFOLIO WHERE Username = '"+ username+"' AND Symbol = '"+strsymbol+"'");
while (rs.next()){
purchaseAmount = rs.getDouble("Amount");
//Calculate the amount of Total Gain
total_gain = amount - purchaseAmount;
=============================================================================
Error message:

In your code:
while (rs.next()){
purchasePrice = rs.getDouble("Price");
...purchasePrice is initialized only if rs.next() returns true. purchaseAmount has the same problem. To avoid this problem, you could declare them by:
double purchasePrice = 0;
double purchaseAmount = 0; -
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 youDo 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. -
XML Publisher to Excel Report : Date format problem
Hi,
I am trying to create an Excel report with XML Publisher. I have an issue with the Date Fomatting.
In the XML template, I have set the "Date" column in date format. But the excel output report "Date" column returns as "General text" (string) and it is sorted as text, not as date.
Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks!!!Hi,
Did this post solve your problem? I have the same issue that I need to solve.
I have an xsl-fo template with dates in it.
The dates are in english.
My excel is setup to use danish.
When I export to excel it knows the month jan, feb, mar, apr, ... which are the same in danish and english.
But months where it differs like may (danish maj) the cell is a general text instead of date.
Is there anyway you can set/transform the date in the xsl-fo template so it does not care about the language in excel?
Thank you in advance.

Quicken 2007 date format problem in Mavericks
Objective: Get date format in dd/mm/yyyy format in Quicken 2007 (Lion compatible version).
Current OS: Mavericks 10.9.4
Hardware: Retina MacBook Pro & iMac 27" 3.2Ghz
Problem:
On my rMBP with Mavericks 10.9.4, I’m able to get Quicken 2007 data in dd/mm/yyyy format, as desired.
On my new iMac (late 2013) with 10.9.4, Quicken recognises the System date formats dd/mm/yyyy (setting up a new register shows System date format) but the registers and data are all in m/d/yy.
Quicken prefs are set to Canadian, so date formats should automatically be in dd/mm/yyyy, but aren't.
The Quicken data file is identical on both Macs. The original file goes back to 1991, and has been through all Mac OS iterations since then.
Pre-Lion, I remember that the workaround was to set the Language & Region to something (English / US, don’t remember which) and then change date formats. Anyway, the dd/mm/yyyy stuck, through Lion and Mavericks on my rMBP, but is causing a problem in the iMac.
My guess is that Quicken is unable to / blocked out from accessing System date formats in Mavericks 10.9.4.
Wondering if there’s some way to make Quicken access the Mavericks System date format, and stick to it?
Possible approach: If some expert in these forums knows how Mavericks works under the hood, how it allows other apps access to System Prefs like date formats etc., perhaps a script or Terminal command could force Quicken 2007 to recognise and accept date formats from System Prefs (Language & Regional settings).
I'd really appreciate the help; needless to say, the Quicken data is vital to my work.Hi Marlon,
The OS Local definitions. Different countries have different date formats for their location. Check the date format of the OS CultureInfo settings.

Date format Problem in forms&reports Services 10g
Hi Dears,
I Faced a problem during running reports ( i am using forms& Reports Services 10g), when i pass the parameters via parameter form to the report (built in forms10g Rel 2.0) its appearing in arabic like (25-يناير-2010) as my Date Formate is (DD-YYYY-MON) and NLS_LANG parameter is defined as Arabic_Saudi arabia.AR8MSWIN1256 so as a result report is not running due to unknown Date formate, how can i change the Same Date format (DD-YYYY-MON) to appear in english like (25-2010-JAN)
ThanksYou could specify the parameter as type VARCHAR2, explicitly cast it (maybe to DD.MM.YYYY) when you pass it from forms and cast it back in your query, like TO_DATE(:P_PARAM, 'DD.MM.YYYY')

Date Format problem in ABAP Proxy
Hi All,
We have a Inbound ABAP proxy which recieves data from XI.
We use a date field in that which is defined as DATS datatype.
When we trigger the interface from XI with date in format YYYYMMDD, we are getting an exception.
when the date is sent in format YYYY-MM-DD, the interface is run successfuly.
when we test the interface in SPROXY transaction the date is displayed in YYYY-MM-DD format.
does it have anything to do with the defenition of the date format in XI?
I want to know whether DATS format in XI is different from ABAP?
should the date that is sent from XI be in YYYY-MM-DD format all the time.
Kindly suggest a solution for the date problem when it is passed from XI to ABAP proxyHi Uday,
Check the pattern used in XI/PI for the date definition.
If it's set to:
pattern="[0-9]-[0-9]-[0-9]"
Then it will enforce the pattern. You could try changing the pattern in XI to exclude the hyphen then you have a normal DATS format.

InputDate Column Filter Date Format Problem
Hi,
I have an af:table with filterable columns and some of these columns are based on Timestamp VO attributes.
When I enter a date filter - either manually or from the associated date picker, the filter is applied correctly using a date format of dd/MM/yyyy.
However, when the table is subsequently refreshed, the filter value is still present but has been re-formatted to "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mi:ss" format (default format for a Timestamp datatype?). The an error appears in the column filter component - "Error: The date is not in the correct format".
If I want to retain the filter value across queries, how can this be achieved?
My table column is defined as follows:
<af:column sortProperty="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.name}"
filterable="true" sortable="true"
headerText="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.label}"
id="c59"
rendered='#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.displayHint != "Hide"}'
displayIndex="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.displayHeight}">
<f:facet name="filter">
<af:inputDate value="#{vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate}" id="id4">
<af:convertDateTime
pattern="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.format}"/>
</af:inputDate>
</f:facet>
<af:outputText value="#{row.LastReadingDate}" id="ot59">
<af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.format}"/>
</af:outputText>
</af:column>I've tried messing with the properties of the af:convertDateTime component, but I'm thinking the problem is in the population of the filter facet inputDate with the vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate value. This does not appear to be re-formatted for display - but I don't know how to manipulate this value...
Or is there a better way? This seems more complicated than it should be...?
By the way, I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0 for my development.
Thanks.Does it work fine if you change the pattern for convertDateTime?
I.e
change
<f:facet name="filter">
<af:inputDate value="#{vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate}" id="id4">
<af:convertDateTime
pattern="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.format}"/>
</af:inputDate>
</f:facet>to
<f:facet name="filter">
<af:inputDate value="#{vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate}" id="id4">
<af:convertDateTime
pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"/>
</af:inputDate>

Web service date format problem
Hi, I am using a web service from another R/3 server. Its date format is like this..
- <xsd:simpleType name="date">
- <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:maxLength value="10" />
<xsd:pattern value="\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d" />
</xsd:restriction>
when I created a Proxy class, the date field length is 8.
I write my code and tryed execution. Its not giving any result and no exceptions also.
I think the problem is with Date field..
Suggest me how to solve this problem.
Regards,
Dhanunjaya ReddyHi Dhanunjaya,
If you are calling web service from your code, then it is executing like this->
Your Code--> Proxy---> Already existing web service
You are making a call to proxy, not to web service directly.
And in proxy it is defined as type D( with length 8) which is equivalent to YYYYMMDD.
So try passing the value YYYYMMDD(eg 20070505) from your code.
Regards,
Piyush
