RE: How to compare a date?

[Nicolas Lafaury]

You have two possibility         public int displayContentFromDates(String startDate, String endDate){       String objectDate = startDate;       String objectStartDateStr = startDate;       String objectEndDateStr = endDate;       long objectStartDate = -1;       long objectEndDate = -1;       try {           objectStartDate = Long.parseLong(objectStartDateStr);       } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {           //System.out.println("box_new.jsp> " + nfe);       }       try {           objectEndDate = Long.parseLong(objectEndDateStr);       } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {           //System.out.println("box_new.jsp> " + nfe);       }       long now = (new Date()).getTime();       int displayObject = -1;       if (objectStartDate == -1){           if (objectEndDate == -1){               displayObject = 0;           } else if (now <= objectEndDate) {               displayObject = 0;           }       } else if (objectStartDate <= now){           if (objectEndDate == -1){               displayObject = 0;           } else if (now <= objectEndDate) {               displayObject = 0;           }       } else if (objectStartDate > now){               displayObject = 1;//sera à afficher plus tard       }       return displayObject;     }   This the first one then you print just the containers where the function return 0   The second method, and the best way I think is to use containerFilter   <%   if (!jData.gui().isEditMode()) {     Vector moncFilterBeans=new Vector();     Calendar todayCalendar=Calendar.getInstance();     ContainerFilterBean monContainerFilter = new ContainerFilterBean("startDate ",jData.params().getEntryLoadRequest());     monContainerFilter.addClause(ContainerFilterBean.COMP_SMALLER_OR_EQUAL,""+todayCalendar.getTimeInMillis());     moncFilterBeans.add(monContainerFilter);     monContainerFilter=null;     ContainerFilterBean monContainerFilterEnd = new ContainerFilterBean("endDate ",jData.params().getEntryLoadRequest());     monContainerFilterEnd.addClause(ContainerFilterBean.COMP_BIGGER_OR_EQUAL,""+todayCalendar.getTimeInMillis());     moncFilterBeans.add(monContainerFilterEnd);     monContainerFilterEnd=null;     ContainerFilters containerFilters = new ContainerFilters("agendaContainerList",jParams,moncFilterBeans);     request.setAttribute("agendaContainerList_filter_handler",containerFilters);   } %>     Hope this can help you   Nicolas De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : vendredi 28 octobre 2005 15:49 À : template_list@jahia.org Objet : How to compare a date?   I have a container with a startDate and an endDate field. I want to show the container if curent date is in between those dates.   How can I compare with current date?
