Hey,
I've actually had the same problem a few times already :-P I dont
know why Java creators decided on having different packages for dates. But
the solution is actually pretty simple.
I'm guessing that you probably put
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
in ur header. That is the main issue there. IF that is a code
standard for ur company then you have to actually specify the type of dates.
So ur code will look like:
java.sql.Date startdate = java.sql.Date() depending on what date ur actually
using.
Another minor note: request.getParameter("date") will return a
java.lang.String object. Last time I checked.. you cant assign that to a
Date object of any package.
Hope that helps,
-Tim

Subject: Date() giving problems in jsp
Hi all,
In my jsp page I am passing "date" as a parameter.
The code is as follows:-
Date startdate=Date();
if(request.getParameter("date")!=null)
{
startdate=request.getParameter("date");
}
I am getting the following error message on
compilation:-
D:\bea\wlserver6.0\config\EAIDOMAIN\applications\emd\WEB-INF\_tmp_war_EAI1_E
AI1_EMD\jsp_servlet\_test2.java:169:
reference to Date is ambiguous, both class
java.sql.Date in java.sql and class java.util.Date in
java.util match
Date startdate= new java.util.Date(); //[
/test2.jsp; Line: 10]
Please help!
Thanks
