String to timeStamp

[timmbo]

Hi All,

Have a jsp variable returning a string "dateFrom" containing "06/10/2004 06:00:01 AM". When I put it to the timeStamp variable, the time is dropped. The date appears in the timeStamp okay. How would I get the time into the timeStamp variable.

  if(infoReport.getDateFrom() != null) {
    if(!infoReport.getDateFrom().equals("")){
[b]
      custReport.setDateFrom(infoReport.getDateFrom()));
[/b]
    }
  }

getDateFrom - String
custReport.setDateFrom - timeStamp

Any suggestions or comments would be most appreciated.

TIA,

Tim

Sorry All. getDateFrom is a Timestamp not a string. So, this leads me to believe my time format is wrong. Does timeStamp have to have a specific format for time?

TIA,

Tim

Do you mean a java.sql.Timestamp object ?

You might want to look at the APIs for :

thanks for the reply Sedj. I did figure it out - just didn't dig deep enough into my existing code.
