Reg: Assigning a Date value in context

[Former Member]

Hi,

Below is the code, where i am initializing a context with the date value. But the date value is not getting assigned to the context. What could be the problem? Kindly help me out.

String s = "12/31/9999";

try {

SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");

java.sql.Date date1 = (java.sql.Date)sd.parse(s);

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

c.set(2006, 8, 22); //month is zero based

java.sql.Date date2 = (java.sql.Date)c.getTime();

wdContext.currentContextElement().setValidto(date1);

}

Thanks & Regards.

Dhana,

Try this:

String s = "12/31/9999";
try {
/* 
//NOT USED ??? 
SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
java.sql.Date date1 = new java.sql.Date( ((java.util.Date)sd.parse(s)).getTime());
*/
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(2006, 8, 22); //month is zero based
java.sql.Date date2 = new java.sql.Date(c.getTimeInMillis());
wdContext.currentContextElement().setValidto(date2);
}

WD in fact requires java.sql.Date, but many Java API returns java.util.Date and you may not upcast java.util.Date to java.sql.Date

Makesure that your code is in init() method

Dhana,

Are you sure you are using correct variable in last statement (date1 or date2)?

wdContext.currentContextElement().setValidto(date2);

Hi,

String s = "12/31/9999";

try {

SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");

java.sql.Date date1 = new java.sql.Date( ((java.util.Date)sd.parse(s)).getTime());

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

c.set(2006, 7, 22); //month is zero based

java.sql.Date date2 = new java.sql.Date(c.getTimeInMillis());

wdContext.currentContextElement().setRam(date1);

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("hi"+wdContext.currentContextElement().getRam());

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("hi4"+ date2);

}

this should helps you.

Thanks,

Lohi.
