//You can get current date

Date currDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

Hi Wojciech Matulewicz,

I have tried using this before and i faced this problem.

When i click on create proposal, the screen just refreshes and the CO execution doesnt ends.

Without ending this field, however things work fine.

here is the code:

Method technicalDescription()

IGPAttributeInfo date = output.addAttribute("DATE", IGPAttributeInfo.BASE_DATE);

date.setMultiplicity(IGPAttributeInfo.MULITIPLICITY_1_1);

Method execute()

Date currDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

contextElement.setDate(currDate);

Method complete()

output.setAttributeValue("Date", wdContext.currentContextElement().getDate());

If i comment out this code, the CO execution works out fine, but on addition of this code the screen refreshes and CO execution doesnt end.

Am i doing something wrong???

please help me out with this.

Thanks.

Hello all,

I'm new to GP and CAF. I see that there are some JAVA statements to be writte for Webdynpro CO. Where do you guys actually put this code?

Is there a place where we can write some JAVA code for JAVA webdynpros?

Thanks,

Hi Mandrake,

Yes there is a place to put the JAVA Code.

Follow these steps:

Create a Web Dynpro Application in SAP NW Developer Studio

Switch to Web Dynpro perspective

Create a Component

Open the Java editor of Component Controller/View Controller to put the necessary Java code.

Follow this doc for details.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

You can use following code to get system date and day.

public static final String DATE_FORMAT_NOW = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT_NOW);

sdf.format(cal.getTime());

you can specify format according to you and can get day, date and time.
