Problem with Date type

2005-09-06 13:25

Hi all,

I am experiencing serious problems with the simple Date type.

I create a Date textfield in a *.jrxml report.

My custom data source adapts my DB field in order to pass a Date in the getFieldValure() method. Since it is not possible to create a Date object by passing it day, month and year in the constructor, I create a Calendar object, set day month and year in it and then convert it to a Date object.

 

PROBLEM: the Date object is always 1 month later than the original date, so I cannot show it in the report as a date.

 

Any suggestions?

This is not realy JasperReports problem. If you check Calendar class, you will find JANUARY constant which have value 0. This means that if you need to set September as a month you will have to put 8; not 9.
