Right now I do something like this for an example:
<%@ page import="java.util.*,
java.text.SimpleDateFormat"%>
<%
SimpleDateFormat datef, timef;
Date tim = new Date();
Locale fi = new Locale( "fi", "FI" );
datef = new SimpleDateFormat( "MM.dd.yyyy", fi
);
timef = new SimpleDateFormat( "HH:mm:ss", fi);
int hours;
hours = tim.getHours();
int days;
days = tim.getDay();
%>
The current date at the server is <%= tim %>.
<hr>
Display date only: <%= datef.format(tim) %>
<hr>
Display numeric value of the day of the week only
(i.e. Thursday = 4): <%= days %>
<hr>
Display comparison of numeric conversion days of the
week:
<% if (days > 1) { %>
<br>Text is <font
color="Orange"><b>orange</b></font> but could be row
color <% } %>
<% if (days == 3) { %>
<br>Text is <font color="#0033ff"><b>blue</b></font>
but could be row color, etc
<% } %>
<% if (days < 5) { %>
<br>Text is <font color="Red"><b>red</b></font> but
could be row color
<% } %>
<hr>
Display time only: <%= timef.format(tim) %>
And so forth...All works fine. But I cant seem to be
able to compare values of that date and the date from
the database.
So how should I change my page objective (ie
java.util*) to be able to do date arithmetic? My SQL
query gets a value like "Oct 1 2000 12:00AM" as a
smalldatetime.
I think the way I did it in JSP looks like "TUES OCT 2
2000 GMT 1200AM."
Suggestions?????
