Where do Date and Calendar get the current date?

The server's time is correct, but my Java application is one hour fast... Why could that be?

Maybe because Java has a different notion of "local time zone" than whatever you use to check the time.
Try checking the local timezone that Java thinks is in effect and compare this with whatever the OS provides.
A common case seems to be that Java has more up-to-date timezone data than the OS and Java is actually true.
And: you could easily make a mistake by converting Date/Calendar/... around an mess up the timezone information (don't ask me how exactly, but I've seen it before).

How to get the current date and compare dates

hi
does anyone know how you would get the current date?
furthermore, how to compare the current date with a past date to see how many days or months have past since then?
thanks

have a look at the Date class. new Date() creates an object containing the exact date and time at creation time. (Date).getTime() might be useful for comparing two dates. GregorianCalendar might be useful, too.

Get the Current Date and Time of a Location

I have created a windowsPhoneApplication in silverLight 8.1.In my application,I have to upload videos on some server.The Uploading get failed If the Date and Time settings of my device is not the current Date and Time.So How can I get the current date
and time even if the device settings is wrong?

Hi shifana,
Do you know server's time zone? If yes, you can manually translate to the correct time zone.
Otherwise try some online time acquire API.

GregorianCalendar - getting the current date

Hi,
Have any of the Calendar classes been changed in version 1.5. I'm trying to get the current date and time in an application, to add to filenames when they are backed up. In java 1.4 the following code was sufficient to get the information required:
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
filename = "C:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\\Apache2\\www\\test\\htdocs\\backups\\";
filename += theFile;
filename += "=" + getUser() + "=" + cal.get( Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY ) + "_" +
     cal.get( Calendar.MINUTE ) + "=" + cal.get( Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH ) + "_" +
     ( cal.get( Calendar.MONTH ) + 1 ) + "_" + cal.get( Calendar.YEAR );
I'm writing another app using the same code and SDK 1.5, but it's returning the same values every time.
Cheers
Matt

I wrote a small program to test the Calendar object on my system:
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Tester extends Frame implements ActionListener
     public Tester()
          javax.swing.Timer timer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, this );
          timer.start();
          setSize( 400, 400 );
          show();
          addWindowListener(
               new WindowAdapter()
                    public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e )
                         System.exit( 0 );
     public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
          Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
          System.out.println( "Time: " + cal.HOUR + ":" + cal.MINUTE + ":" + cal.SECOND );
     public static void main( String args[] )
          Tester t = new Tester();
This repeatedly outputs:
10:12:13
I tried this with Calendar and GregorianCalendar. Both of them do not seem to work. I'm not using the same Calendar object, or outputing in the same second....

How to get the "current date" in the BEx?

Hi all,
I need to get the "current date" in my Bex report in order to make a comparison. I know there is a "How to" which shows how to get the current date via a User Exit, but I didn't find it. Could you please help me?
Thanks

1. Create a New Formula in Key Figures structure
2. Give tech name and description and Select "New variable" option
3. Next screen will launch Variable Wizard -> create a new variable with replacement path as processing type
4. in next screene select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date)
5. In the next screen select Key in the Replace Variable with field. Leave all the other options as they are
6. In the next Currencies and Units screen select Date as the Dimension ID.
6. Save variable
repeate the Above steps to create another variable (To Date)
and now you can use these two new replacement path variables in your new formula.

How does one get the current date?

I would not use the date object (mostly deprecated), instead use the Calendar object.

How to get the current Date

With the following piece of code, I am able to get the current date in bpe forms, but not when I put it in any of the forms logged in using end user(not even in end user menu).
<Field name='request.submitDate'>
<Display class='Label'>
<Property name='value'>
<invoke name='dateToString' class='com.waveset.util.Util'>
<ref>java.util.Date</ref>
</invoke>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>
The following error is getting displayed in the end user menu form.
XPRESS exception:
Can't call method dateToString on class com.waveset.util.Util ==> java.lang.NullPointerException: -------can anyone please help me out
or can anyone suggest a way for getting the current date
Regards
Gajendra Nagapurkar

The <ref> tag is used to refer to the value of some variable. The value of the variable java.util.Date in your example is NULL, because it doesn't exist!
If you remove that argument from your <invoke>, the call resolves to the method com.waveset.util.Util.dateToString() and will return something like "20050810 11:00:21".

Why is the folder strukture based on the import date, and not on the Creation date? How can i setting this?

What folder structure?
If you're referring to how Aperture stores the originals in a managed library then the answer is you can't change it.
If having the originals stored in a specific file structure is important to you you will need to switch to a referenced original setup.
