Alfresco DateFormat

german — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:52:16 GMT

Hi all. Using Java and mySQL I have a problem in setting the Date property of a document before to load it on Alfresco. To set the other properties I use JTextField and I have no problems, because they are text fields. What can I use in Java to set a property type in the date format accepted by Alfr

The date in format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sssZ

will do. This method grabs a date (raw) that was available as yyyymmdd and returns the date in the requested format.
This is maybe close to what you need?

private String formatDate(String raw)
{
String yyyy = raw.substring(0,4);
String mm = raw.substring(4,6);
String dd = raw.substring(6,8);
StringBuffer res = new StringBuffer();
res.append(yyyy);
res.append("-");
res.append(mm);
res.append("-");
res.append(dd);
res.append("T00:00:00.000Z");
return res.toString();
}

Cheers,
Jos
