Date.before() Function

[Veena Ka]

I Have this peice of code which I want to return true, if the date provided is before 31st march.

I have provided 05 feb of the same year. Still the function

if (wrksDate.before(calWrksDate.getTime()))

keeps returning false. Can anybody please help?

Date wrksDate = wbData.getWrksWorkDate();
			
			Calendar calWrksDate = Calendar.getInstance();
			calWrksDate.setTime(wrksDate);
			
			Calendar marchCal = Calendar.getInstance();
			marchCal.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.MARCH);
			marchCal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 31);
			marchCal.set(Calendar.YEAR, calWrksDate.get(Calendar.YEAR));
			
			Date dt = marchCal.getTime();
			Date dt1 =  calWrksDate.getTime();
			
			logger.info("******March Calendar *******" +dt);
			logger.info("******March Calendar *******" +dt1);
			logger.info("******March Calendar *******" +wrksDate.before(marchCal.getTime()));
			if (wrksDate.before(calWrksDate.getTime()))
				return true;
			else
				return false;

Your variable names create some confusion, but I would expect a version of the March date to be included in the comparison, and I don't see it. Recheck what you're comparing.
