A bit of OT, but this bug hit me in JDK1.1.7 (Sun/Solaris)
I would like to submit it to SUN.
Hi,
Pls be careful when using java.util.Calendar().
The following should return FRIDAY, but it returns some random day of the
week
Calendar tradeDate = Calendar.getInstance();
tradeDate.set(yyyy, mm-1, dd);
//tradeDate.setTime(tradeDate.getTime());
System.err.println("Tradedate is " + tradeDate.getTime() +
", DAY_OF_WEEK = " + tradeDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK));
Should print 6 for DAY_OF_WEEK (Friday). But it prints 0 (or some other
number)
The way to fix it is to uncomment the setTime() above!!!
Yikes!
