Hi !

Use the DateFormat class...

For example:

DateFormat m_dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);

DateFormat m_dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, Locale);

and provide a Locale to specify the formatting.

then just

String m_date = m_dateFormat.format(new Date());

Something like that...

Hope it helps.

you can use java.text.SimpleDateFormat to set your own format :SimpleDateFormat m_dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");System.out.println(m_dateFormat.format(new Date()));

And if I want to return a Time Object to SQL Server?(not String...)?

If you have a string on the form hh:mm:ss you can useTime m_time = Time.valueOf(m_string);Otherwise use the Date objectTime m_time = new Time(m_date.getTime());Something like that...

What's not right on this:

SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("H:mm:ss");

String s=timeFormat.format(new Date());

Time m_time = Time.valueOf(s);

return m_time;

The result column on the SQL Server is :

01/01/1900 17:13:53

I want only the time.

What does it print out if you add

SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("H:mm:ss");

String s=timeFormat.format(new Date());

System.out.println(s);

Time m_time = Time.valueOf(s);

System.out.println(m_time);

Just the time or the date too...

Strange..Just the time.(both of them)So why does the SQL takes the 1.1.1900 with it?

How is the column defined in the SQL db.Is it a time, date or something else...

Just datetime column.

> Just datetime column.I believe that since the column is datetime it will always have a date component. Since you are setting it with a date that essentially is 0 it will give you 1900-01-01. I don't think this has to do with the Time object. It's in the database.

Then the problem is in the db.Can't you change that to just a Time column...

OK. I'll dig a little bit at the SQL Server about the datetime parameter.tank u all!
