JSP Database setTime, get a time from form - database

Question

// Create the prepared statement and use it to
// INSERT the student attributes INTO the Student table.
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(
"INSERT INTO Review VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
pstmt.setInt(1, Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("section_id")));
pstmt.setString(2, request.getParameter("quarter"));
pstmt.setInt(3, Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("year")));
pstmt.setTime(4, ????)
Can anyone tell me how can i read values with the type Time?? Lets say time like "16:34"? How can I define a pattern and read it?

Answer 1

You need to do this.
public static java.sql.Time getCurrentJavaSqlTime(String time) {
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm", Locale.ENGLISH).parse(time); //Convert to Date
return new java.sql.Time(date.getTime()); //Now to time
}
java.sql.Time time = getCurrentJavaSqlTime("16:34");
System.out.println("time=" + time);
pstmt.setTime(4,time);
Use format patterns to work with yout String.
H Hour in day (0-23) Number 0
k Hour in day (1-24) Number 24
K Hour in am/pm (0-11) Number 0
h Hour in am/pm (1-12) Number 12
m Minute in hour Number 30
To obtain from user try this
java.sql.Time time = getCurrentJavaSqlTime((String)request.getParameter("time"));
pstmt.setTime(4,time);
