I have some java.sql.Time objects as follows: 

    String s1 = "12:00:04";
    String s2 = "12:23:34";
    String s3 = "12:03:02";
    String s4 = "11:00:54";

    int dij = j-i;
    int dmj = j-m;
    java.sql.Time tdi = java.sql.Time.valueOf(s1);
    java.sql.Time tki = java.sql.Time.valueOf(s2);
    java.sql.Time tdm = java.sql.Time.valueOf(s3);
    java.sql.Time tdj = java.sql.Time.valueOf(s4);

How can I perform subtract operations of these objects? I want to get the result in java.sql.Time object itself but number of seconds will work too.
Most of the methods given in java.sql.Time class are deprecated. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/Time.html

    Since java.sql.Time wraps a java.util.Date, I’m not sure that subtraction and putting the result in a java.sql.Time object is meaningful.

    I would rather perform the subtraction (most likely using the milliseconds field and the getTime accessor), and store the result as a numeric representing the number of seconds/milliseconds etc.

    If you’re performing a lot of arithmetic, the solution is most likely to look at Joda-Time. See the FAQ for arithmetic-related info. Joda-Time has a more consistent and useful API, plus is thread-safe (unlike the standard java.util.Date/Calendar)
