Hi,
I'm trying to create a java.util.Calendar object in Coldfusion 8 in order to pass it to a java class. The object gets created fine but whenever I try to use the "set" method I get the following error:
---
An exception occurred while instantiating a Java object. The class must not be an interface or an abstract class. If the class has a constructor that accepts an argument, you must call the constructor explicitly using the init(args) method. Error : Class coldfusion.runtime.java.Ja
---
I've attached the code below, any help would be much appreciated.

IIRC, now() is a java.util.Date object. So you might also try the shortcut method setTime(...). Not at all tested, but in theory:
<cfscript>
// create an instance of a calendar
calendar = createobject("java", "java.util.GregorianCalend
theTime = now().getTime();
calendar.setTime( theTime );
</cfscript>

> can not access a member of class java.util.Calendar with modifiers "protected"
Calendar is an abstract class and it's constructor is "protected" (ie you cannot call it from outside the java.util package). When you try and use "set", CF automatically tries to call the constructor. Since it is protected, you get an error.
Instead try the GregorianCalendar class. It extends Calendar, so you can use it instead. Also, unlike CF dates the Calendar "month" is 0 based. CF months are 1 based. So remember to subtract 1 from whatever month you pass to the java calendar.
