Java Date

SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
java.util.Date dd = f.parse(("1999-7-26", new ParsePosition(0));
u.setLastAccessTime(dd);

Assumed that setLastAccessTime() is a method which accepts
java.uti.Date

If you give some details about database that would be useful

thanks a lot.
by the way i am using a block of code from a book. in the book it shows the code like this. i have never seen java code written in parentesis.like i have shown in the code below.is this new feature of java or something.am i missing something

public static void main(String args[]) {
HibernateUtil.recreateDatabase();
Session session = HibernateUtil.beginTransaction();
{
User u = new User();
u.setLoginName("mj");
u.setPassword("abc123");
u.setEmailAddress("mj@mcnz.com");
u.setVerified(false);
u.setLastAccessTime(new java.util.Date());
u.setRegistrationDate(new GregorianCalendar(2006,01,01));
session.saveOrUpdate(u);
}{
User u = new User();
u.setLoginName("mario");
u.setPassword("pass");
u.setEmailAddress("mario@scja.ca");
u.setVerified(true);
u.setLastAccessTime(Date.valueOf("2008-1-1"));
u.setRegistrationDate(new GregorianCalendar(2007,01,01));
session.saveOrUpdate(u);
}{
User u = new User();
u.setLoginName("sk8trgrl");
u.setPassword("password");
u.setEmailAddress("avril@scja.com");
u.setVerified(false);
u.setLastAccessTime(new java.util.Date());
u.setRegistrationDate(new GregorianCalendar(2008,01,01));
session.saveOrUpdate(u);
}
{
User u = new User();
u.setLoginName("ridley");
u.setPassword("mypassword");
u.setEmailAddress("getbent@scja.ca");
u.setVerified(true);
u.setLastAccessTime(new java.util.Date());
u.setLastAccessTime(Date.valueOf("2006-10-5"));
u.setRegistrationDate(new GregorianCalendar(2006,5,11));
session.saveOrUpdate(u);
}

I guess java.sql.Date.valueOf((("1999-7-26")

should work

You see Date is ambiguous there are two classes java.uti.Dtae and java.sql.Date
and sql Date does have this method taking this format

You see in your code tehy explicuitly wrie java.util.Date
in other cases where Date is without java.util they probably omply java.sql.Date, as they have this sql.Date
in the import on top

 SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
            Date dd = f.parse(("1999-7-26", new ParsePosition(0)));

i get error saying ) expected??i have checked and the brackets seems to be ok

try add java.uti.Dtae instead of Date

SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
            java.uti.Date dd = f.parse(("1999-7-26", new ParsePosition(0)));

yes you were correct.java.sql.date solved the issue.can you please throw some light on those bracket thing which i mentioned in the code

This code exactly worked for me

  SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
                   Date dd = f.parse("1999-7-26", new ParsePosition(0));
        System.out.println(dd);

You had two many parentheses in parsing

I'm not sure, waht you mean - there are
soem extra braces there ?
As long as they are matching and the scope of variables are consistent you can put braces, I believe

i mean this

09/05/11 11:34 AM, ID: 35718026

You don't need a DateFormat, the code you already have will work fine

And if you do want to use DateFormat the code you need is shown here
http://helpdesk.objects.com.au/java/how-do-i-parse-a-java-string-that-specifies-a-date

Please, explain what you mean by this:
"
i mean this

09/05/11 11:34 AM, ID: 35718026

"
these arer parenthese ()
these are brackets []
these are braces {}
waht do you mean?

i mean braces

i am trying to run this code and i get error

http://jpa.ezhibernate.com/Javacode/learn.jsp?tutorial=09howtousethecriteriaapi

this what i am trying to run,but now i get error

But they can use extra brcase if all variabes are in csope and opebning match  closing
it probably add readability in this case

java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:138)  should have String not date inside the parentheseis
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html#valueOf%28java.lang.String%29

so is the code which the author has provided got error in it,since i am running his code

i have added string,but still i get error

Look you have nothin inline 73

i changed it after that error,but still i get error.here is the new version

line 73:  u.setLastAccessTime(new java.util.Date());

compare with line 83:

u.setLastAccessTime(java.sql.Date.valueOf("2008-9-15"));

and other lines like that
you line 73 iis wromng

Where is new error at what line?

Don't see, are you sure you pasted the latest version which you are running
73 was inded bad - this 28 maybe I;m not noticing some additional point or comma
try to run once again and post exactly your code

In the worst case you may try to change the order of teese pargraphs
abnd check the line of error - thisometimes helps to spot the misprint

i have changed the line no and ran the file,but still no luck.

for_yan:

one thing, this method is of type java.util. so could that be the cause. the books code i am following seems to have error in its code.

@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    public Date getLastAccessTime()
    {
        return lastAccessTime;
    }

    public void setLastAccessTime(Date lastAccessTime)
    {
        this.lastAccessTime = lastAccessTime;
    }

You know wwhat I change to "2008-01-01" and it worked for me

You need 2 digits for mionth

>>u.setLastAccessTime(Date.valueOf("1999-7-26")); should be

u.setLastAccessTime(java.sql.Date.valueOf("1999-07-26"));

I checked it and one digit is gicves exactly that exception

cheers

> so is the code which the author has provided got error in it,since i am running his code

not that I can see, why do you think it has an error?

btw zolf, the missing zero was NOT the reason for your error
