I am trying to create a style that makes dates from the last week

  • 0

I am trying to create a style that makes dates from the last week in bold. I have only been able to get it to work by putting in an explicit date like below. I would like to have a dynamic “last week” based on the current date.

<style name="Date_Bold" isBold="false">    
    <conditionalStyle>
       <conditionExpression><![CDATA[$F{$F{account_date}.toString() > '2011-10-17 00:00:00']]></conditionExpression>
       <style isBold="true"/>
    </conditionalStyle>
</style>

  2. You can try this expression to get ‘last week’ (today minus seven days)
    3. <![CDATA[new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - (7 * 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24))]]>

    You can see also this link for better understanding this solution.

  3. You can try to get date via SQL query and put the result value to the new Date field.
    It would be something like this for Oracle: 

    4.  SELECT account_date, sysdate-7 as last_week, ... FROM table ...

    It would be something like this for MS SQL: 

    SELECT account_date, (GETDATE() - 1) as last_week , ... FROM table ...
  4. Another way to pass date from code via parameter.
  5. Or you can try to import Joda library for example. Here is the sample of scriplet using.
