Hi,

Use

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

cal.get(Calendar.YEAR); // Year

cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) // Month

Hi,

You can get the current year and month using the following code:

Date curr = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

int year = curr.getYear();

int month = curr.getMonth();

This two things you can poulate into an array and then to the attribute of your dropdownlist.

Hi,

If you are using DropDownByKey UI elements:

1. Let's say the context attributes bound to the selectedKey property are called year and month respectively.

2. To populate year:

-

---

Date current = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

IWDAttributeInfo attinfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IContextElement.YEAR);

ISimpleTypeModifiable modinfo = attinfo.getModifiableSimpleType();

IModifiableSimpleValueSet valset = modinfo.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();

valset.put("currYear",String.valueOf(current.getYear));

-

---

3. You can do a similar thing for month.
