Deprecated getMonth()

[Amer Seifeddine]

Hi,

I was using My Timestamp.getMonth() in Java 1.3.
Now, in Java 1.4.x, this method was deprectaed and replaced by Calender.get(Calender.MONTH). How to convert the Timestamp to Calender?

Regards,
Amer.

The Timestamp class was inheriting the method getMonth() from the java.util.Date class. This method was deprecated as of JDK version 1.1 and replaced by Calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH).
So anywhere you are calling Timestamp.getMonth() should be replaced with
Calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH).

Try this,

Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
cal.setTime(timestamp.getTime());
cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);

Let me know if that helps....

Thanks,
Chinmay

That code snippet will not work because the timestamp method getTime() returns a long and the setTime() method of Calendar expects a Date as it's argument. If you replace setTime() with setTimeInMillis() the code will function as long as the timestamp object has prviously been initialised.

Thanks,

I think this will work with setTimeInMillis() for the cal object.
This seems to be fine.
