Hi,

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); // Here u can use as per your requirement

try

{

Date today = df.parse("20/12/2005");

System.out.println("Today = " + df.format(today));

} catch (ParseException e)

Hi,

Try using this statement in the parse command:

Date today = df.parse(ele.getConf_Shp_Date().toString());

It might be possible that the Conf_Shp_Date is of a different format. Just making it a string.

Hi,

I don't get this point:

Here getConf_Shp_Date is string type(java.util.date)

. Is it a java.util.Date or a String?

If you want the date to be in yyyyMMdd, create a simple type under the Dictionary->SimpleType section of the WD project and set the Datatype as Date and go to the "representation" tab and enter the format as yyyyMMdd

Create a context attribute called "DateNewFormat" and set the type to the simple type created.

If the Conf_Shp_Date is string, u can use the simple date format and convert to a date and set the context attribute "DateNewFormat"

For conversion from util.Date to sql.date refer to the below thread:

/thread/28928 [original link is broken]

use this "DateNewFormat" and set it to the ECC parameter;

eleout.setEindt(wdContext().currentContextElement().getDateNewFormat());

Hi Vijay,

Please use below code might helps

Date dt = null;

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");

dt = (Date)format.parse(ele.getConf_Shp_Date());

eleout.setEindt(dt);

Also refer to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Hope it will helps

Hi

Plz refer to this code below

import java.util.*;

import java.text.*;

public class StringToDate {

public static void main(String[] args) {

try { String str_date="11-June-07";

DateFormat formatter ;

Date date ;

formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");

date = (Date)formatter.parse(str_date);

System.out.println("Today is " +date );

} catch (ParseException e)

{System.out.println("Exception :"+e); }

}

}
