Date field should be different

[Former Member]

Hi

Iam creating an application in web dynpro.In that labels "From Date" and "To Date" labels are present.

In that i created Context of type "Date".

I written code like this.

Date date=new Date();

java.sql.Date today=new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());

wdContext.currentTimelogElement().setFromDate(today);

wdContext.currentTimelogElement().setToDate(today);

While writing like this,its showing todayDate as "From Date " and "To Date ".

I want both the Dates should be different.

Suppose "From Date-06/02/2009" "To Date---10/02/2009" or

From Date-01/02/2009" "To Date---06/02/2009"

For that what are the modifications i have to do in the Code.

Hi Sushma,

your code

Date date=new Date();

java.sql.Date today=new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());

wdContext.currentTimelogElement().setFromDate(today);

wdContext.currentTimelogElement().setToDate(today);

new code

1. No need to use getTime as you want to display the date.

2. To hard code the dates

Date fromDate = new Date("10/25/2008"); // date in format : mm/dd/yyyy

Date toDate = new Date("01/05/2009"); // date in format : mm/dd/yyyy

Hi,

IF you want both the dates in different format create 2 contex variables and bind them to a simple type of type date with the format you want.

Bind these 2 context varibales to the fromDate and ToDate

Hi..

If you want the different dates, create two value attributes of the type date and bind it to the 2 input field FROM and TO... It will diplay the calender. so that u can select the different dates.

No need to write any coding..

If u want to display the current date in the FROM field you can use this coding..

java.util.Date ud = new java.util.Date();

java.sql.Date sd = new java.sql.Date(ud.getDate());

sd.setYear(ud.getYear());

sd.setDate(ud.getDate());

sd.setMonth(ud.getMonth());

wdThis.currentContextElement().setFromdate(sd);

Here Fromdate is the value attribute of the type date.

Hi Sushma,

Create 2 Date instances for 'FromDate' & 'ToDate' with required values & set them.

Example:

java.sql.Date fromDate = new java.sql.Date(109, 1, 1); // This is 1st Feb, 2009

wdContext.currentTimelogElement().setFromDate(fromDate);

Similarly, java.sql.Date toDate = new java.sql.Date(109, 1, 6); // This is 6th Feb, 2009

wdContext.currentTimelogElement().setToDate(toDate);

For details, refer http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html

Hope this answers your query.

Kind Regards,

Nitin

Hi,

You are setting the todays date for both the context fromdate and todate. You can set whatever dates you want like

wdcontext.curentcontext.setfromdate("Yourdate");

Hope this helps.

Hi

I have taken UI Element "Input Field ".In that i had takenit of type "Date".

So in the layout for inputfield the calendar will be displayed.

Iam hardcoding the Values.I written code like that which i posted.

MY question is the "From Date" and "To date" must be hardcoded with different dates.
