Hmm I don't understand well... i'm importing from java.util.Date - so my
Date returned by my static method is a java.util.Date, or am I wrong ???

Before I had a (static) class to get the actual date from the machine date,
something like

import java.util.Date;
.....
public static Date getToday() {
     Date d = new Date();
     // Code to strip time information from d ...
    return d;
}

and this code worked without problems....

So where is really the difference??  Both methods supposedly return a
java.util.Date value ....

If someone can get me out of my doubts I will be happy....

Kind regards,

Hi Albert,

it's not a bug of ULC 6.1, as explained in the two attachements I sent
earlier to you and that are included here once more
for the community. But probably Canoo might change the behaviour concerning
java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time and
java.sql.Timestamp so that code like

if (value != null) {
if (value instanceof java.sql.Date | value instanceof java.sql.Time | value
instanceof java.sql.Timestamp) {
value = new java.util.Date( ( (java.util.Date)value ).getTime() );
}
}
fDate.setValue(value );

is not required any more as was the case before ULC 6.1.

Kind Regards
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

Thank u very much, the following code resolved the problem:

Date now = new java.util.Date(DataSistema.getDate().getTime());
fDate.setValue(now);

But I really start feeling uncomfortable about Canoo... a bit like VB 3
where u had to spend many months finding out workarounds for rather a lot of
dirty bugs in the product (typically MS, their whole product line is buggy,
but we have nothing better for the moment as they have the whole public
sector in their hands so we have no choice but program on their buggy
platform if we want to earn a living), my productivity is very very much
down..., not only learning how to use the product but also working my way
through the known-bugs-list and finding out how to resolve many other
problems... Like the datetype bug on textfields in VE, I asked for an
interim version of VE but more than a week later nothing in sight, I think
it must be small effort from Canoo to bring out a patch version without this
kind of bugs that break completely existing code... hmm same same here in
hospital if I tell the doctors wait 6 months until next release of my
software before you can see x-ray images again on your browser, i think I
would be watching the street before ending June :)))

So it's my opinion (I would like to trade for a better one), Canoo should
launch more interim bug-solving versions, the product is expensive enough to
expect something better. I'm not an experienced Java programmer still, but
with over 25 years programming experience (starting with Algol 60 at
Eindhoven Technical University ending 80's), I think I can express this
concerns....

Kind regards,
