Simple Date/Time format question

[Chintan B Shah]

Hi all,

Have lost touch of writing core Java code for a while now..so please bear with me.

I have a date/timestring which needs to be converted to XMLGregorianCalendar.

Following is code I am using

            SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss a");
            Date date = format.parse("04/30/2011 1:15:00 PM");
            GregorianCalendar startDateTime = new GregorianCalendar();
            XMLGregorianCalendar calendar=null;
            startDateTime.setTime(date);
            calendar= DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(today);

The output as I am viewing on web-page is coming out to "04/30/2011 1:22 AM".

What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Chintan.

Are you sure that's the right code? Where is today defined? And since you've created two Calendars there with different dates, which one are you outputting?

Hi Matthew,
sorry my bad.
Its actually

 calendar= DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(startDateTime);  

And since you've created two Calendars there with different dates, which one are you outputting?

I am outputting "calendar".

sorry for being not clear.

Thanks
Chintan.
