The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Convert a String to a Date

Asked by Painfree888 in Java Programming Language

Tags: date, string, convert


Hi all,

I've seen this question asked, but haven't seen an answer that I think applies to my situation. So, here goes:

First, I am a novice Java programmer, as I am sure you will see. My problem is this:

1. I am attempting to migrate data from one database to another.
2. Migration is being done using a Java program
3. The source database contains a field (which we will call: Source_Date), that contains a text value. For purposes of this question, the value contained in the field is: "03-SEP-2006 14:22".  Source_Date is represented as a String object in our TopLink model.
4. The field to which I wish to copy this text value is a date/time field, and is represented as a Date object in our TopLink model.

So, the question I have is how do I transform the String object into a Date object? I have tried something like this:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm")

This seems to work, but, the value in the example above always winds up being something like this:

03-SEP-1016 14:0

Anyone have any ideas? If I have bunged something up, let me know and I will provide more detail. Assinging this question a value of 500 points based solely on urgency. Thanks!
