Split Date and Time from a Date to type separately

Question

I'd like to do this:

Date meetingDateAndTime;

<h:inputText value="Date"/>
<h:inputText value="Time"/>

Once I got only one attribute Date, is it possible to type Date in an inputText and type Time into another and then merge them together?

Answer 1

You could use two DateFormats, one that outputs the Date and one that outputs the Time. SimpleDateFormat

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");

Edit: Sorry, I thought you were trying to write two fields from one date not create one date from two fields. What about the following:

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormt("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss);
String dateString = dateInputText + " " + timeInputText;
Date date = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
