Time related issues

[Manikandan Parthasarathi]

Hi
I am sending a message to jms.queue.
I am reteriving the time from the server.
But its not the actual time. when ever i restart it shows oo.oo.oo
i want the time to be actual system time

i am using EJB3.0 and JBoss 4.2.2
how i can set the regional time?

How are you retrieving the time?

[Manikandan Parthasarathi]

i am getting the time by this msg.getJMSTimestamp(). It returns a long which is a milliseconds. i conver that milliseconds into actual time.

[Martijn Verburg]

Is the value of the time 0 before or after you convert it?

[Manikandan Parthasarathi]

I didn't get you...

[Martijn Verburg]

Sorry, I'll rephrase the question.

1.) What is the value after you call msg.getJMSTimestamp()
2.) What is the value after you convert that into actual time?

[Manikandan Parthasarathi]

i am getting the following value 1221719820863, and i am not getting the same value every time.

i am using following code to convert it into time format
public String convert(long time) {
int milliseconds = (int) (time % 1000);
int seconds = (int) ((time / 1000) % 60);
int minutes = (int) ((time / 60000) % 60);
int hours = (int) ((time / 3600000) % 24);
String millisecondsStr = ((milliseconds < 10) ? "00"
: ((milliseconds < 100)
? "0" : "")) + milliseconds;
String secondsStr = ((seconds < 10) ? "0" : "") + seconds;
String minutesStr = ((minutes < 10) ? "0" : "") + minutes;
String hoursStr = ((hours < 10) ? "0" : "") + hours;

return new String(hoursStr + ":" + minutesStr + ":" + secondsStr + "." +
millisecondsStr);
}


but i want server time to be synchronized with the regional time

The given long converted into actual time is "08:37:00.863"

final long l = 1221719820863L;
final Date d = new Date(l);
 
final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss.SSS");
System.out.println(sdf.format(d));

I would work with Rene's suggested code (no need to write your own conversion when Java has the API to do it for you)! You can also then look at Calendar and Locale classes in order to get things in the correct timezone etc.
