Hi
I add additional getters and setters for handling dates and prices (and other
special
numeric formats). For example, in addition to the normal getter I code an
additional
one to retrieve the date as a string.
public Date getDateStart() {
return dateStart;
}
public String getDateStartAsString() {
if (dateStart == null) return "";
return Focus.date2String(dateStart);
}
I then code up some static methods to format dates to strings and similar
methods to
make the opposite translation (string back to date). For example, a method
from my
Focus class related to the above code:
public static String date2String(Date date) {
return sdf.format(date);
}
And if you're desparate, here is the sdf definition:
private static SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
You can do the same thing with a Timestamp, depends how many fields you want to
declare on your form and how much data entry you want your user to do. I used
a
similar method in my Focus class to get/set the date portion of the timestamp
value:
public static String timestamp2String(Timestamp ts) {
if (ts == null) return "";
return date2String(new Date(ts.getTime()));
}
