Hi

I am javing a jsp file where I would like to get the current date and
time to be inserted in fields of an SQL table. The date should go into
the MySQL date field and hence should be of format yyyy-mm-dd. I tried
to use java.sql.Date, but I couldn't get it to work. If I simply use

long date = 0;
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(date);
int year = sqlDate.getYear();

I get back "70". So obviously I have to get the year from the machine's
time, which is a linux box with Redhat 7.3.

So I tried this:

long date = 0;
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(date);
String thetime = sqlDate(System.currentTimeinMillis());
out.println ("SQL time is " + thetime);

But this didn't work either.

How do you do this?

In addition, I would like to get the time, but in decimal format i.e.
rather than 11:15 I would like to get 11.25

Is there a way of doing this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hugo
