how to validate time in jsp or java

hi,

Include this one in JSP page

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>

I hope you have heared about jstl.

//create an object representing the current date

<jsp:useBean id="now" class="java.util.Date"/>

//create a java class that convert in your format

Try this...

String stringDate = "20/01/1999";

try

{

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat

("dd/MM/yyyy");

ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);

Date date = formatter.parse(stringDate, pos);

}

catch (Exception e)

{

//Date is not valid

throw new IllegalArgumentException();

}

//output the date

<fmt:formatDate type="both" value="${now}" dateStyle="full" timeStyle="short" />
