RE: How to compare a date?

You have two possibility
 
 
    public int displayContentFromDates(String startDate, String endDate){
      String objectDate = startDate;
      String objectStartDateStr = startDate;
      String objectEndDateStr = endDate;
      long objectStartDate = -1;
      long objectEndDate = -1;
      try {
          objectStartDate = Long.parseLong(objectStartDateStr);
      } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
          //System.out.println("box_new.jsp> " + nfe);
      }
      try {
          objectEndDate = Long.parseLong(objectEndDateStr);
      } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
          //System.out.println("box_new.jsp> " + nfe);
      }
      long now = (new Date()).getTime();
      int displayObject = -1;
      if (objectStartDate == -1){
          if (objectEndDate == -1){
              displayObject = 0;
          } else if (now <= objectEndDate) {
              displayObject = 0;
          }
      } else if (objectStartDate <= now){
          if (objectEndDate == -1){
              displayObject = 0;
          } else if (now <= objectEndDate) {
              displayObject = 0;
          }
      } else if (objectStartDate > now){
              displayObject = 1;//sera à afficher plus tard
      }
      return displayObject;
    }
 
This the first one then you print just the containers where the function return 0
 
The second method, and the best way I think is to use containerFilter
 
<%
  if (!jData.gui().isEditMode()) {
    Vector moncFilterBeans=new Vector();
    Calendar todayCalendar=Calendar.getInstance();
    ContainerFilterBean monContainerFilter = new ContainerFilterBean("startDate ",jData.params().getEntryLoadRequest());
    monContainerFilter.addClause(ContainerFilterBean.COMP_SMALLER_OR_EQUAL,""+todayCalendar.getTimeInMillis());
    moncFilterBeans.add(monContainerFilter);
    monContainerFilter=null;
    ContainerFilterBean monContainerFilterEnd = new ContainerFilterBean("endDate ",jData.params().getEntryLoadRequest());
    monContainerFilterEnd.addClause(ContainerFilterBean.COMP_BIGGER_OR_EQUAL,""+todayCalendar.getTimeInMillis());
    moncFilterBeans.add(monContainerFilterEnd);
    monContainerFilterEnd=null;
    ContainerFilters containerFilters = new ContainerFilters("agendaContainerList",jParams,moncFilterBeans);
    request.setAttribute("agendaContainerList_filter_handler",containerFilters);
  }
%>
 
 
Hope this can help you

Objet : How to compare a date?
 
I have a container with a startDate and an endDate field.
I want to show the container if curent date is in between those dates.
 
How can I compare with current date? (System.currentTimeMillis())
 
I can find some java code doing by using java code (scriplet) (box_news.inc).
 
But how can we do this by using taglibs (jahia,jstl,struts)?
...
 <content:dateField ..../>
...
 <c:if test="${ ????? }">
  // Show container fields...
</c:if>
...
