Convert a String to a Timestamp

[brad balmer]

I'm tring to do this originally using the jakarta commons classes, but I don't have to.

I'm trying to convert a String into a Timestamp using:

ConvertUtils.register(new SqlTimestampConverter(), Timestamp.class);
try {
timestamp = (Timestamp)ConvertUtils.convert(fullStringTimestamp,
Timestamp.class);
}catch(Exception E) {
E.printStackTrace();
}

The fullStringTimestamp value is 2005-02-03 03:30.000000000

Could anybody please point me in the right direction as this is throwing a org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException.

Or using any of the plain java classes?

Thanks.

Perhaps DateFormat and SimpleDateFormat would be able to solve your problem more easily. These classes are part of the standard Java API.

Keep Coding!
