Question

I have a jquery datepicker on my page :

$( "#dob" ).datepicker({
        yearRange: "-100:+0", 
        dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yyyy',
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true,
        showAnim: 'slideDown',
        minDate: '-100Y',
        maxDate: '-1D'
    });

I am getting dob string as : 25-12-1988 in my servlet.

i tried this :

SimpleDateFormat formatter=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mm-yyyy");
            try {
                ud.setDob(formatter.parse(dob));
            } catch (ParseException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

to insert this in Db i am doing this :

pstm.setDate(9,new java.sql.Date(ud.getDob().getTime()));

and in db i got this : 1988-01-25 00:00:00 which is incorrect.

datatype of column is datetime

where is the problem ?

Answer 1

mm is “minutes”. “Months” is MM:

SimpleDateFormat formatter=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");

(See the javadoc for java.text.SimpleDateFormat.)
