Help With Dates

[vrkamalakar]

Hi,

I got a scenario where the user gets an id which will expire in 24 hours. Now for that validation I need to update a field ie., set expiration time for 24 hours from the current time.

When the user logs in with that userid I need to check whether the id has expired or still valid. How do I set the time. Can I get some code please.

I got two functions which converts string to date and date to string

private String dateToStringCon version(Date date) {
String ldapDate = null;
SimpleDateForma t ldapFormat =
new SimpleDateForma t("yyyyMMdd") ;
ldapDate = ldapFormat.form at(date);
return ldapDate;
}


private Date stringToDateCon version(String value) {
Date date = null;
SimpleDateForma t ldapFormat =
new SimpleDateForma t("yyyyMMdd") ;
date = ldapFormat.pars e(value);
return date;
}


But how to set time ie., validate a field for 24 hours.......Ple ase give me some code....

Have a look at java.util.Grego rianCalendar.

1)the simple way is to read a file every time the program is executed.
The file will have a count in an encripted way.when count reaches a certain number stop executing.
Every time the program runs you should update the file.


2)you can hardcode a date in your program and every time the program runs,compare the date with system date.
3)as r0 said u can use Gregorian calender

best of luck
