How to import date and set node.

[hptarora]

Hi,

I am importing data from a json and I am finding problem while setting date field.

I am using java util calendar and using set function.

here is the peace of code

'Calendar opCal = Calendar.getInstance() ;

if (OpDate.length() > 0) {
    int ddOp = Integer.parseInt(schOpDate.substring(0,2));
    int mmOp =  Integer.parseInt(schOpDate.substring(3,5));
    int yyyyOp = Integer.parseInt(schOpDate.substring(6));
    opCal.clear();
    opCal.set(yyyyOp,mmOp,ddOp);
}'

'chContent.setProperty("customDate", opCal);'

 but in some cases it setting wrong date like for 12-10-2021, its setting 13-11-2021. I dont know why its doing that.

Is there a better way of doing it ?

Thanks

@hptarora 

did you try like this? 

DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'+00:00'");

you can change DateFormat pattern as per your requirement. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html 

 java.util.Date date = inputFormat.parse(inputDate);

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));

calendar.setTime(date);

chContent.setProperty("customDate",calendar);
