Question

Good day everyone! I have a problem regarding my “date”. It needs to be parsed but I don’t know how to do it. Can someone help me by suggesting fixes on my code?

    <%
String format = "yyyy-MM-dd";
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(format); 
String faculty = request.getParameter("faculty");
String absent_date = request.getParameter("absent_date");
int intFaculty = Integer.parseInt(faculty);

System.out.println(faculty);
System.out.println(df.parse(absent_date));

java.sql.Date absentdate  = new java.sql.Date(df.parse(absent_date).getDate());
Absences abs = new Absences();
abs.setFaculty_id(intFaculty);
abs.setAbsent_date(absentdate);
int result = AbsencesImpl.AddAbsences(abs);
if (result == 0)
{
%>
    <jsp:forward page="ListAbsences.jsp">
    <jsp:param name="msg" value="Record Successfully Added"/>
    <jsp:param name="ret" value="meron"/>
    </jsp:forward>
<%
}

%>

For the result and error in Console:

 5 
 Tue May 01 00:00:00 CST 2012
 java.sql.SQLException: 3 values for 2 columns

I found this but I dont know how to implement this on my codes.

 SimpleDateFormat parserSDF=new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");

Im using Eclipse Indigo, Sqlite, and Apache Tomcat

Insert Statement (Im using MVC)

public int AddAbsences(Absences abs)
{
    Connection con = null;
    PreparedStatement pstmt;
    ConnDB conn = new ConnDB();
    String sql = "INSERT INTO absences( faculty_id, absent_date) VALUES(?, ?)";

    try{
        con = conn.connect();
        try{
            pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
            pstmt.setInt(1, abs.getFaculty_id());
            pstmt.setDate(2, abs.getAbsent_date());

            pstmt.executeUpdate();
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        con.close();
    }catch(Exception e){
        System.out.println(e);
    }
    return 0;
}

Answer 1

I will recommend to use

df.parse(absent_date).getTime()

instead of

df.parse(absent_date).getDate()

And also, I suspect that you have table absences with 3 columns, but you try to insert only 2 values. If one of values from table is id, then I suspect this value is not autogenerated.

Hope it will help you.
