How do i set the default value for a java.util.Date field, especially if i do not want to use the current time?

Make a date variable in your report and initialize it to desired date.

since the date is set by using a calendar in java 1.2+ and then doing a getTime to the Calendar, isnt this a problem?

You can pass date as parameter to report.

Do like this-

 

<variable name="def_date" class="java.util.Date" resetType="Report" calculation="Nothing">

<initialValueExpression><![CDATA[new SimpleDateFormat().parse("07/10/2004 4:5 PM")]]>

</initialValueExpression>

</variable>
