In my ISData
class i have create below method:
public static final DateFormat IN_DATE_FORMAT = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
and now in my TSTIMP
class i am trying to assign the current sys date value in the IN_DATE_FORMAT
format to variable import_date
which is Date datatype. But dont know how to do that. I want to parse this date into String as i need to later on store this in database table. Currently i am getting error as java.lang.NullPointerException: null
data.import_date = InstrumentMasterData.IN_DATE_FORMAT.parse(<need to provide sysdate> as String)
Below i tried for variable effective_date
which is also Date
datatype and it works fine:
data.effective_date = allocDate != null ? InstrumentMasterData.IN_DATE_FORMAT.parse(allocDate as String) : null
Also i have data.fund_quote_date
variable which is also Date datatype and it should always be null. How can i assign null value to this varaible ?

You can use DateFormat#format
to get the system date string in the IN_DATE_FORMAT
format e.g.
data.import_date = InstrumentMasterData.IN_DATE_FORMAT.parse(InstrumentMasterData.IN_DATE_FORMAT.format(new Date()) as String)
However, this is unnecessarily formatting a Date
object using IN_DATE_FORMAT
and then parsing the same formatted string back to a Date
object. Instead of this, you can simply do:
data.import_date = new Date();
Also i have
data.fund_quote_date
variable which is also Date datatype and it should always be null. How can i assign null value to this varaible ?
Simply, assign null
to it:
data.fund_quote_date = null;
Note: If it is possible for you, stop using the outdated and error-prone java.util
date-time API and SimpleDateFormat
. Switch to the modern java.time
date-time API and the corresponding formatting API (java.time.format
). Learn more about the modern date-time API from Trail: Date Time.
