Hibernate version: 3.1

Name and version of the database you are using:Informix 9


hello all,

I am trying to set values into a Hibernate object called project from values passed in the request from a JSP page


// Code start
this is my code


/* create a new project with passed parameters */
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");

Project theProject = new Project();
theProject.setProjectId(Integer.valueOf(request.getParameter("projectId")== null ? "0" :request.getParameter("projectId")));
theProject.setEditBy(request.getParameter("userid"));
theProject.setEditDt(new java.util.Date());
theProject.setManager(request.getParameter("manager"));
theProject.setProjectDesc(request.getParameter("projectDesc"));
theProject.setSection(request.getParameter("section"));
theProject.setProjectNm(request.getParameter("projectNm"));
theProject.setStartDt(sdf.parse(request.getParameter("startDt")));
java.util.ArrayList myProjects = new ArrayList(0);

//Code End

If I remove the line highlighted above my code runs and all other values are stored in the database. If I leave this line in, the JSP page will not load and no values are stored anywhere. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong. The value is passed as a Parameter from the JSP page and the type in hibernate is a java.util.Date.

All help appreciated

Hi,

This is noway a problem of hibernate.
See to that you use java.util.Date on both in the mapping and in the java class.
But this is strange!!!!!

The steps you have followed are correct, but Debug it this way
see the output of request.getParameter("startDt");
and the parse it with sdf.parse(request.getParameter("startDt")).


Now set the value in the Project Object
theProject.setStartDt(sdf.parse(request.getParameter("startDt")));
and check also the backend type for this Date field.

Thanks Ramnath,

I totally re wrote the page and now it works. I have no idea why and neither do my fellow developers, I shall put it down to a glitch in my IDE I guess.

Thankyou for taking the time to reply.
