Converting String to Date (java.sql.date)

[Former Member]

Hi,

Kindly let me know how I can convert a string like

"20061102" (YYYYMMDD) to a Date type (java.sql.date) in web Dynpro.

Requirement is to set a DateType context Attribute with

the value contained in the String ("20061102" ).

Awaiting your kind responses..

Regards,

Mahesh

SimpleDateFormat yyyyMMdd_parser = new SimpleDateFormat(

"yyyyMMdd");

java.util.Date date=yyyyMMdd_parser.parse("20061102");

java.sql.Date slqDate=new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());
