date format

[bbromonti]

Hi,

I have the following problem:

I get "pretty" and user-friendly dates from the database: "dd/mm/yyyy", but iReport transforms them into "dd/mm/yy h:mm" which is a bit disturbing, at least users will complain about it..

How could i maintain the original "dd/mm/yyyy" format?

(the column type in the database is date, iReport gets it as java.util.Date, the field on the report si also java.util.date

and Date has quite few not deprecated functions left...)

I have tried to also to transform a string (dd/mm/yyyy) with

new SimpleDateFormat ("dd/mm/yyyy").parse($F{myDateAsString})

but it still gives the same dd/mm/yy h:min format.

How could i get free from the h:min at the end?

ok. Would you mind to try this? Go to the properties of the corresponding text field of your date and under pattern tab click on date and select the format that is 'dd/mm/yyyy'. Also I believe your expression class is set to java.util.date.

 

Best.

"SimpleDateFormat Cannot be resolved to a type"
