Scala Date Format issue

Question

I have code snippet which is giving different output in scala and java. I want the same output as in Java, any one please guide.

Output in Java: 2012-12-13T10:36:38
Output in Scala: 2012-12-13T10:35:38.000+04:00

/**
 * Convert the datetime to XMLGregorianCalendar datetime format.
 * <br><h6>Example Date format You have to Give is : </h6>
 * new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime())) 
 * <br>1900-01-01T00:00:00
 */
public static XMLGregorianCalendar stringToXMLGregorianCalendar(String datetime) throws Exception {

    try {
        if(datetime == null || "".equals(datetime))
            return null;
        GregorianCalendar gc = (GregorianCalendar) GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
        gc.setTime(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").parse(datetime));
        return DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(gc);
    } catch (DatatypeConfigurationException e) {
        logger.error(e.fillInStackTrace());
        throw new Exception(e.fillInStackTrace());
    }
}

Answer 1

I have solved the problem please find the solution below.

I have set the timezone and millisecond to undefined in the above code.

xgc.setMillisecond(DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED) xgc.setTimezone(DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED)

    try {
        if (datetime == null || "".equals(datetime))
            return null
        val gc = new GregorianCalendar()
        gc.setTime(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").parse(datetime))
        val xgc = DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(gc)
        xgc.setMillisecond(DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED)
        xgc.setTimezone(DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED)
        return xgc
    } catch {
        case e: DatatypeConfigurationException => logger.error(e.fillInStackTrace()); throw new Exception(e.fillInStackTrace())
    }

Answer 2

Maybe you should change a timezone

val d = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").format(java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime())
val gc: java.util.GregorianCalendar = classOf[java.util.GregorianCalendar].newInstance().asInstanceOf[java.util.GregorianCalendar];     gc.setTime(new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").parse(d));
gc.getTime
gc.getTimeZone

Result:

res6: java.util.Date = Thu Dec 13 17:21:50 GMT+02:00 2012
res7: java.util.TimeZone = sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="GMT+02:00",offset=7200000,dstSavings=0,useDaylight=false,transitions=0,lastRule=null]
