JAVA:-Converting Object Stored in HashMap to sql Date Type

Question

I have this problem.. I have a Hashmap containing the String as the key and Object as the value. I have one Date Object inside it... While setting in the value for stored procedure call to DB I want to convert it to sql Date type..

Code Snippet..

this.cStmt.setDate(15,(java.sql.Date) (SubsProfile.get(Constants.SUBSC_DETAILS_EXPIRY_DATE_1)));

However while running I am getting ClassCastException..

Exception:-

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.Date cannot be cast to java.sql.Date

please help me to convert it to appropiate type...

Answer 1

that's because, as the exception says, your object is java.util.Date, and you're casting it to java.sql.Date!

Do this:

java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(((java.util.Date)SubsProfile.get(Constants.SUBSC_DETAILS_EXPIRY_DATE_1)).getTime());
this.cStmt.setDate(15,sqlDate);

Answer 2

get the long value of the java.util.Date object you have and create a java.sql.Date object using that long value.

Answer 3

java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date();

java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());

This should help you convert util.Date to sql.Date
