If I have a method like this:
public static String convertDateTimeToString(DateTime dt) {
return dt.getDate() + " " + dt.getTime();
}
Which takes a DateTime object of my own which contains a java.sql.Date and a java.sql.Time, what is the best way of reversing the process so that I can substring a java.sql.Date and a java.sql.Time from a String?
Or if DateTime dt is a JodaTime DateTime object?
If this can be done without reference to java.util.Date.
Look at SimpleDateFormat class. Here's a tutorial.
You'll need something like this:
String datetimeString;
Date result;
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE d MMM yy hh:mm:ss");
result = formatter.parse (datetimeString);
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(result.getTime());.You can use the valueOf method of java.sql.Time to convert a String into a java.sql.Time, and use the valueOf method of java.sql.Date to convert a String into a java.sql.Date
