Re: DateUtilities for ActionForms?
java.util.Date exists simply to *store* dates, the calendar class and the dateFormat class exist to *manipulate* dates. java.sql.Date exists because SQL has different conventions for storing a date than the JVM. The Java API docs for java.util.Date explain the deprecated methods. "Prior to JDK 1.1, the class |Date| had two additional functions. It allowed the interpretation of dates as year, month, day, hour, minute, and second values. It also allowed the formatting and parsing of date strings. Unfortunately, the API for these functions was not amenable to internationalization. As of JDK 1.1, the |Calendar| class should be used to convert between dates and time fields and the |DateFormat| class should be used to format and parse date strings. The corresponding methods in |Date| are deprecated." java.sql.Date is simply a java.util.Date object that has its hours, minutes, and seconds values set to zero since SQL DATEs do not have a time component. In summary, java.util.Date is the standard java API mechanism for storing a date. java.sql.Date is a subclass of java.util.Date with a subset of the functionality designed to represent the functionality provided by a SQL DATE. java.sql.Timestamp is a composite of Date and an extra nanoseccond value designed to represent the functionality provided by a SQL TIMESTAMP. Gareth Mark Galbreath wrote: java.sql.Date is a subclass of java.util.Date (as is java.sql.TimeStamp) and as far as I can see, is the only reason for the latter's existence. As David Flannigan points out in "Java In A Nutshell, 4th Ed" (O'Reilly 2002), p. 654: "Since Java 1.1 many of the methods in the Date class have been deprecated in favor of the methods of the Calendar class." java.sql.Date exists simply to pass milliseconds through JDBC to and from a database.

What are you talking about? I assume you mean the java.util.Date class.
This class is anything but deprecated, it is the de facto method of storing
a date in Java. The reason it has a lot of deprecated methods and
constructors is that in 1.2 the class was extensively refactored with a lot
of the functionality moved into helper classes such as Calender and
DateFormat. I hope this isn't why you are recommending java.sql.date over
java.util.date.

If you want to use Locale aware conversions perhaps you should be using
LocaleBeanUtils rather than BeanUtils. You should be able to convert a
string to a date as follows:
java.util.Date myDate = (java.util.Date)LocaleConvertUtils.convert("18
Jan 2003", Class.forName("java.util.Date"));
If you change your form-properties to strings, copyProperties() should
automagically do the String->Date conversion for you - although I think
it uses toString() for Date->String so you'd need to use the DateFormat
class and some locale information you have about the user

Mick,
Have you tried using the BeanUtils converters. From the docs:
*org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.converters.DateLocaleConverter
*
Standard |LocaleConverter| <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
implementation that converts an incoming locale-sensitive String into
a |java.util.Date| object, optionally using a default value or
throwing a |ConversionException|
<cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> if a conversion error occurs.
It sounds like it might help, but I haven't used it before so i can't
comment. At the very least the source might be useful if you decide
you need to write your own DateUtilities.
HTH.

I am using EntityBeans and ValueObjects with my ActionForms, so to

If you want to use Locale aware conversions perhaps you should be using
LocaleBeanUtils rather than BeanUtils. You should be able to convert a
string to a date as follows:
java.util.Date myDate = (java.util.Date)LocaleConvertUtils.convert("18
Jan 2003", Class.forName("java.util.Date"));
If you change your form-properties to strings, copyProperties() should
automagically do the String->Date conversion for you - although I think
it uses toString() for Date->String so you'd need to use the DateFormat
class and some locale information you have about the user
(request.getLocale()?) to reformat the string.

Re: DateUtilities for ActionForms?
If you want to use Locale aware conversions perhaps you should be using
LocaleBeanUtils rather than BeanUtils. You should be able to convert a
string to a date as follows:
java.util.Date myDate = (java.util.Date)LocaleConvertUtils.convert("18
Jan 2003", Class.forName("java.util.Date"));
If you change your form-properties to strings, copyProperties() should
automagically do the String->Date conversion for you - although I think
it uses toString() for Date->String so you'd need to use the DateFormat
class and some locale information you have about the user
(request.getLocale()?) to reformat the string.

Mick,
Have you tried using the BeanUtils converters. From the docs:
*org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.converters.DateLocaleConverter
*
Standard |LocaleConverter| <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
implementation that converts an incoming locale-sensitive String into
a |java.util.Date| object, optionally using a default value or
throwing a |ConversionException|
<cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> if a conversion error occurs.
It sounds like it might help, but I haven't used it before so i can't
comment. At the very least the source might be useful if you decide
you need to write your own DateUtilities.
HTH.
Gareth.

Is there already a set of DateUtilities for ActionForms?
I am finding myself converting to and from Strings and also
reformating my Dates to and from my DB.
I am using EntityBeans and ValueObjects with my ActionForms, so to
keep the types in synch, it seems I have to do serious conversion
all the time.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I just tried again, and get the BeanUtils.populate error. No other
stacktrace. I really hate that. It tells me nothing about the actual error,
and it seems to be somewhere in the Controller I think.
But it _is_ because of the dates. I have commented out the dates so I can
finish some other parts that I need to work on, and it works. But the dates
are the heart or this Action. So it will not be finished unless I figure
this out.

Re: DateUtilities for ActionForms?
I looked at the javadocs, but I just can't seem to understand how to use that. I looked at the struts source, but that is never used there. Does anyone have a working example of this? --- Thanks...

RE: DateUtilities for ActionForms?
I will try that, but would I also have to change my ValueObject as well from
java.util.Date to java.sql.Date?
Because I _did_ try this with both the VO and the DF as java.sql.Date, and I
got the same error:
"BeanUtils.populate"
When I submitted the form.

Then why are the months hard-coded?
I am really just having a huge issue with my ValueObject having a
java.util.Date, and my DynaForm seemingly needing a String, then converting
the String to a Date before copying it to the ValueObject.
I was suppose to deliver this Friday, but the Dates are kicking my butt.

I wrote a simple conversion method and pass the Strings through - no
hassle
at all. Given the String "Jan 1, 2003":
Calendar date = getDate( string );
private Calendar getDate( String string ) {
Calender cal = Calender.getInstance();
String formatted_date = null;
String[] months = {
"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"
};
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer( string );
String str = st.nextToken();
for( int i; i < months.length; i++ ) {
if( str.equalsIgnoreCase( months[ i ] )) {
month = i;
break;
}
}
String temp = st.nextToken();
StringTokenizer token = new StringTokenizer( temp, "," );
date = ( new Integer(( String ) token.nextElement() )).intValue();
year = ( new Integer(( String ) st.nextElement() )).intValue();

Easy, heh? You could also use regular expressions if you are using JDK

RE: DateUtilities for ActionForms?
Then why are the months hard-coded?
I am really just having a huge issue with my ValueObject having a
java.util.Date, and my DynaForm seemingly needing a String, then converting
the String to a Date before copying it to the ValueObject.
I was suppose to deliver this Friday, but the Dates are kicking my butt.

java.util.Calendar has built-in locale conversions and takes a variety of
input formats - it's really a pretty versatile class.

I wrote a simple conversion method and pass the Strings through - no

at all. Given the String "Jan 1, 2003":
Calendar date = getDate( string );
private Calendar getDate( String string ) {
Calender cal = Calender.getInstance();
String formatted_date = null;
String[] months = {
"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"

StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer( string );
String str = st.nextToken();
for( int i; i < months.length; i++ ) {
