[Former Member]

Hi,

can anybody tell how to set current date in an input field by using java.sql.Date.

I am binding this input field to a value attibute of type 'date' so that the user can edit the date also.

Hi,

use the following to set 10 days before the current date??

	Date date = new Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis());
	
	Calendar calD = Calendar.getInstance();	
	
	calD.setTime(date);
	
	calD.add(Calendar.DATE,-10);
	
	date.setTime(calD.getTimeInMillis());

now "date" will holds the required Date .

ramesh
