One of the most important advantages of using Servlet is that you can use most of the methods available in the core Java. This chapter will explain what Java provides java.util in the bag Date class, which encapsulates the current date and time.

Date class supports two constructors. The first constructor initializes the object for the current date and time.

Date( )

The following constructor takes an argument equal to the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since midnight on January 1, 1970.

Date(long millisec)

Once you have an available Date object, you can call any of the following supported methods to use the date:

Serial number

Method & description

1

Boolean after (Date date) returns true if the date contained in the called Date object is after the date specified by date, otherwise returns false.

2

Boolean before (Date date) returns true if the date contained in the called Date object is before the date specified by date, otherwise returns false.

3

Object clone () calls the Date object repeatedly.

4

Int compareTo (Date date) compares the value of the calling object with the value of date. Returns 0 if the two values are equal. Returns a negative value if the calling object is before date. If the calling object is after date, a positive value is returned.

5

Int compareTo (Object obj) if obj is a Date class, the operation is equivalent to compareTo (Date). Otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException.

6

Boolean equals (Object date) returns true if the called Date object containsthe same time and date as specified by date, otherwise it returns false.

7

Long getTime () returns the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970.

8

Int hashCode () returns a hash code for the calling object.

9

Void setTime (long time) sets the time and date specified by time, which represents the elapsed time in milliseconds since midnight on January 1, 1970.

10

The Date object called by the String toString () transformation is a string and returns the result.

2.16.1. Get the current date and time

It is very easy to get the current date and time in Java Servlet. You can use a simple Date object’s toString() method to output the currentdate and time, as follows:

package com.runoob.test; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.util.Date; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; /** * Servlet implementation class CurrentDate */ @WebServlet("/CurrentDate") public class CurrentDate extends HttpServlet { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public CurrentDate() { super(); } protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8"); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); String title = "Display the current date and time"; Date date = new Date(); String docType = " \n"; out.println(docType + "\n" + ""</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">title</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="s2">"\n" + "\"#f0f0f0\">\n" + "
\"center\">" + title + "\n" + "
\"center\">" + date.toString() + "\n" + ""); } }    
 Now, let’s compile the above Servlet and set it in the   web.xml   create the appropriate entry in the file: 
 
 
 
   CurrentDate com.runoob.test.CurrentDate   CurrentDate /TomcatTest/CurrentDate   
 
 
 
 The Servlet is then called by accessing the  http://localhost:8080/TomcatTest/CurrentDate  . This will produce the following results: 
 
  Image0  
 
 Try to refresh URL  http://localhost:8080/TomcatTest/CurrentDate  , and you will notice the difference in display time every few seconds. 
  
 
  2.16.2.  Date comparison  
 
 As mentioned above, you can use all the available Java methods in Servlet. If you need to compare two dates, here is the method: 
 
     
  •  
     You can use the   getTime()   to get the elapsed time in milliseconds between the two objects since midnight on January 1, 1970, and then compare the two values. 
     
    •  
  •  
     You can use the method   before(   )   、   after(   )   and   equals(   )   . Because the 12th is before the 18th in a month, for example   new   Date(99,   2,   12).before(new   Date   (99,   2,   18))   return to true. 
     
    •  
  •  
     You can use the   compareTo(   )   method, defined by the Comparable interface and implemented by Date. 
     
    •  
 
 
 
  2.16.3.  Format the date using SimpleDateFormat  
 
   SimpleDateFormat   is a concrete class that formats and parses dates in a locale-sensitive manner.   SimpleDateFormat   allows you to select any user-defined date-time formatted mode. 
 
 Let’s modify the above example as follows: 
 
 
 
package com.runoob.test; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; /** * Servlet implementation class CurrentDate */ @WebServlet("/CurrentDate") public class CurrentDate extends HttpServlet { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public CurrentDate() { super(); } protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8"); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); String title = "Display the current date and time"; Date dNow = new Date( ); SimpleDateFormat ft = new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy.MM.dd hh:mm:ss E a "); String docType = " \n"; out.println(docType + "\n" + ""</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">title</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="s2">"\n" + "\"#f0f0f0\">\n" + "
\"center\">" + title + "\n" + "
\"center\">" + ft.format(dNow) + "\n" + ""); } }    
 Compile the above Servlet again, and then call the Servlet by accessing  http://localhost:8080/TomcatTest/CurrentDate  . This will produce the following results: 
 
  Image1  
  
 
  2.16.4.  A simple format code for date format  
 
 Use the event pattern string to specify the time format. In this mode, all ASCII letters are retained as pattern letters, which are defined as follows:

 最近几年来，地理信息系统无论是在理论上还是应用上都处在一个飞速发展的阶段。 GIS被应用于多个领域的建模和决策支持，如城市管理、区划、环境整治等等，地理信息成为信息时代重要的组成部分之一； “数字地球”概念的提出，更进一步推动了作为其技术支撑的GIS的发展。 与此同时，一些学者致力于相关的理论研究，如空间感知、空间数据误差、空间关系的形式化等等。 这恰好说明了地理信息系统作为应用技术和学科的两个方面，并且这两个方面构成了相互促进的发展过程。
