Question

I have a date in XMLGregorianCalendar format like "2013-05-16T09:54:13" which i have to convert to timestamp "MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss AM" for inserting into oracle database table using java.

how can i do this in Java?

Answer 1

You can do this to return a Date:

calendar.toGregorianCalendar().getTime() 

I found that code from this tutorial. From there, you can use a SimpleDateFormat to turn it into a string in the format you want.

But, if you're using JDBC to save the date in the database, you probably can pass in the Date directly with this method:

preparedStatement.setDate(colNum, myDate);
