I need to convert a SQL Server timestamp format (stored on Timestamp java data type) into this format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sssZ (it's the date format parsed by Alfresco)

How can I do it?

Answer 1

Try this SimpleDateFormat:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'" );
String yourformattedDate = sdf.format(yourDate);

Answer 2

You could try and get the time (in ms) from your TimeStamp instance, create a Date instance and use the DateFormatter class to format it anyway you want. That is, assuming DateFormatter supports the format you want.
