rendering calendar object

[Ashita Singh]

in the jsp the value is shown as:

java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=1216917842000,areFieldsSet=true,areAllFieldsSet=true,lenient=true,zone=sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="America/Chicago",offset=-21600000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,transitions=235,lastRule=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=America/Chicago,offset=-21600000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=3,startMonth=2,startDay=8,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=7200000,startTimeMode=0,endMode=3,endMonth=10,endDay=1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=7200000,endTimeMode= 0]],firstDayOfWeek=2,minimalDaysInFirstWeek=4,ERA=1,YEAR=2008,MONTH=6,WEEK_OF_YEAR=30,WEEK_OF_MONTH=4,DAY_OF_MONTH=24,DAY_OF_YEAR=206,DAY_OF_WEEK=5,DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=4,AM_PM=0,HOUR=11,HOUR_OF_DAY=11,MINUTE=44,SECOND=2,MILLISECOND=0,ZONE_OFFSET=-

What does "no luck" mean? Please be complete in your postings. What did happen?

[Ashita Singh]

no luck means i am not able to display in the format I want "MM/dd/yyyy-HH:mm:ss"

It's best to add answers in a new reply rather than "ninja edit" your original. People coming back later that may have the same issue will be confused when replies don't seem to make sense because original posts were changed.

What do you get? When I copy and pasted your original code (what happened to the original post??) the results are:

08/19/2008-11:31:35

Which is exactly what it should be...

[Bear Bibeault]

Obtain a Date object from the calendar and use that for display.

It was "ninja edited". Ashita Singh, as you can see, all that does is to cause confusion. Please don't do that in the future.

Ahh, I see. I will post the code I used then:

In the JSP I used:

<fmt:formatDate type="date" value="${order.expirationDate.time}" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy-HH:mm:ss"/>

Note that since you are using the pattern you would not need to use the type attribute
(and if you were to use it, then the value should be type="both" - but that is the code I
copied from the original).

I had to make a sample order which I did like this:

package luke.steve.tests;
 
public class Order {
    java.util.Calendar expiry = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();

public java.util.Calendar getExpirationDate() { return expiry; }
}
