Getting Date in the form in JSP
Hi,
I am working on a form created in JSP that gets the date from the user, just in case the user wants to modify the date (default is current date), i wish to provide an option for that. Is there any other way apart from using list boxes asking for day,month and year?
My doubt is about the part - alternate for listboxes with separate options for day, month and year.
Thanks and Regards,
Reshma

Other way is to let the user manually enter the date in desired format, e.g. yyyy-MM-dd, and use SimpleDateFormat to convert between String and Date.
Date date = new Date(); // Today's date.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String dateString = sdf.format(date); // 2007-05-24
And the reversed way:String dateString = "2007-05-24";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = sdf.parse(dateString); // Thu May 24 00:00:00 [zone] 2007
Check the [url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html]SimpleDateFormat API[/url] for several date format patterns.

Hi,
The problem is:
i used the following code
java.util.Date dtDate = new java.util.Date(2007,03,03);
java.sql.PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareStatement("UPDATE MkgDetails SET ExamDateGiven = ? WHERE databaseNo = ?");
stmt.setDate(1,new java.sql.Date(dtDate.getTime()));
.................................
..............................
No compilation errors but ,
1. The date whcih is added to the database is 4/3/3907.
2. How can i replace this constant date to a variable which accepts a date from the user in a textbox?
like what do i do with the strDate = request.getParameter("text"+i);
where the text box was a dynamically generated JSP stmt.
Hope i am clear.
Regards,
