return current date

[gi11ies]

Hi

Im wondering if anyone can tell me a method to return the current date, in Day, Month, Year format. Passing it as a date parameter so it can be entered into a 'datetime' field on an SQL Server database.

Several ways to do this:

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
etc.

If you don't want to format the date yourself, check out the DateFormat class.

Classes to look at:

Hi,
try this out..
java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date(java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime().getTime());

Then u can send the date to the date time field in the sql server.

Hope this helps
