Yes, it's a good point, but the only place my date is a String, is in the ActionForm.
Would you store the date as long there? -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: apachep2 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 7. marts 2003 15:22 Til: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Emne: RE: date format problems Never try to store a date as a string. It creates a lot of date format problems. As I have said, store it as a long so that you can easily do the conversion. -----Original Message----- From: Søren Blidorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March 6, 2003 6:42 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: SV: date format problems Hi. Thanks for all the answers I was trying different things because nothing would work for me. I need one thing: Convert the String value theForm.GetMyDate() so that I can insert it in my sql as yyyy-MM-dd. I get the error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot format given Object as a Date I will look at BeanUtils.copyProperties( beanToCopyTo, beanCopyingFrom );, but it is probably to complicated for me just now! What is the best way to fix it? -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Chen, Gin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 6. marts 2003 16:31 Til: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Emne: RE: date format problems The "standard" for an actionForm is to have every field as String. All conversion (which should really be thought of as business logic) should occur in the Action classes or further down the food chain. If this is not possible in your case or does not solve what your working on then can you please give more details? -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Kandi Potter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 10:21 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: date format problems I'm no expert at struts but I convert and validate my dates in my Action or Business Class instead of the Form. I could be completely off-base here in my interpretation of the struts ActionForm though........ -----Original Message----- From: Søren Blidorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 10:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: date format problems Hi. I have an action that gets a date from the MS SQL 2000 in yyyy-MM-dd. I convert it with simpledateformat as dd-MM-yyyy and put it in a jsp form. When submitting the form the date must be coverted back to yyyy-MM-DD before another actions update the db. I am trying to convert the date value in the ActionForm, but I am getting the following error. Any idears?
