Converting util.Date to util.Calendar

I've read a date from a database (java.sql.Date).
How can I convert this type to java.util.Calendar
or java.util.GregorianCalendar in JDK 1.2?
The getTime()-Method of java.util.Date is the only Method that is not deprecated, but the Method setTimeInMilis(long) in java.util.Calendar is protected.

Ok, say you have an instance of java.sql.Date called date and an instance of java.util.Calendar called calendar. Use the following:

calendar = new java.util.Calendar();
calendar.set(date.getYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate(), date.getHours(), date.getMinutes() );


That should work.

There is a method called "setTime()" in Calendar class which takes Date as an Input.

public final void setTime(Date date)





Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime( tYourDateObject );




Poochi..

AHa!
i think the best way is to use Canlendar's protect method:complete().
For example:
Suppose you have date object. Year,month,day value is available.
You can create a class derived from Calendar(or GregorianCalendar as you like),
In this subclass's construct body,you can use this.complete to set the fields that can be caculated.
see:
class MyCalClass extend Calendar {
.....................
public MyCalClass(int year,int month,int date) {
super(year,month,date);
this.complete();
}
.....................
}

then you can use:
MySubClass someOject(year,month,date);
someObject.get(MySubClass.MILLISECOND);
someObject.get(MySubClass.DayOfWeek);
...........................
you can get value of millisecond,weekOfMonth,weekOfYear,dayOfMonth,dayOfYear,etc.


a lovely man,like prgramming with java.
