use java.sql.TimeStamp object -----Original Message----- From: Oisin Kim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2001 9:34 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Problem with using java.util.date Objects as CMP Entity fieldsin Orion 1.5.2 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems to me with writing java.util.Data objects to a postgresql database as an entity bean field. This is the exception I get com.evermind.server.rmi.OrionRemoteException: Error loading state: Bad Timestamp Format at 19 in 2001-07-27 16:29:22.97+01 at MessageNode_EntityBeanWrapper0.SubmitMessage(MessageNode_EntityBeanWrapp er0.java:245) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.evermind._dh._gc(Unknown Source) at com.evermind._if.run(Unknown Source) Any help would be greatly apprecieated, the only solutionI can think of is to store longs in the database instead of timestamps. Thanks, Oisin --
