I noticed that this will get the job done but does that mean there is no shortcut to just inject a java.util.Date and handle it properly?
parQuery.setLiteral("productStatusDate", "2012-01-03", XSDDatatype.XSDdate); Robby -----Original Message----- From: Robby Pelssers [mailto:robby.pelss...@nxp.com] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 4:29 PM To: users@jena.apache.org Subject: how to parameterize a date in a parametrized query? Hi all, Still having a bit of difficulty getting the sparql query to use a xs:date instead of xs:dateTime In RDF we defined a productStatusDate as follows: <nxp:productStatusDate rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date">2011-10-28</nxp:productStatusDate> I have following query and from Java I want to filter out all products having a specific productStatusDate #Query showcasing how to select typenumber and preflabel for all products #having a specific productStatusDate PREFIX nxp: <http://purl.org/nxp/schema/v1/> SELECT ?typeNumber WHERE { ?x nxp:typeNumber ?typeNumber; nxp:productStatusDate ?productStatusDate . } I only noticed a setLiteral for Calendar but that does not seem to get the job done: ParameterizedSparqlString parQuery = new ParameterizedSparqlString(sQuery); Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar.set(2011, 10, 28, 0, 0, 0); //2011-10-28 parQuery.setLiteral("productStatusDate", calendar); Query query = parQuery.asQuery(); System.out.println(query.toString()); I printed the query which looks like this: PREFIX nxp: <http://purl.org/nxp/schema/v1/> SELECT ?typeNumber WHERE { ?x nxp:typeNumber ?typeNumber . ?x nxp:productStatusDate "2011-11-27T23:00:00.663Z"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime> } How can I switch to using date ?? Thx in advance, Robby
