I really like the method of auto-filling Javabeans from ResultSets described by Ted Husted in the earlier thread "Re: Performance, Reflection, and Object Creation vs. Cacheing".
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg14397.html However, my Javabeans currently use the Long datatype for storing a value which is stored in the RDB's DATETIME field. (This Long value is converted to something like 2002-05-24 12:34:22 using java.text.SimpleDateFormat and viceversa using java.text.ParsePosition.) If I wish to use the method described by Ted Husted using ResultSetUtils, what is the most appropriate datatype to use for storing dates, datetimes and timestamps in my Javabean ? Thank you. By the way, where can I get the full ResultSetUtils.java ?
