Oracle Data can not set Time on gregorian calendar

Question

I create java method which I load to oracle database and run it from plsql code.

public static int getSomethink(Integer multiplicity, DATE startDate);

This method takes oracle.sql.DATE startDate .

When I want to:

GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
calendar.setTime(startDate);

I have an error which say method setTime(Date) accept normal Date , not oracle.sql.DATE . So here is my questions:

How to create conversion between java.util.Date and oracle.sql.DATE ? Do you have any others ideas which can solve this issue?

Answer 1

You could simply call dateValue() on startDate to convert internal Oracle Date to a Java Date.

Something like:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(startDate.dateValue());
