Compare Date object with a TimeStamp in Java

Question

When I test this code:

java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
java.util.Date stamp = new java.sql.Timestamp(date.getTime());

assertTrue(date.equals(sta         


        

Answer 1

Try recreate the object date using "Strings" like this

Date date = new Date();
Date stamp = Timestamp(date.getTime());

SimpleDateFormat ft = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
String date1String = ft.format(date);
String date2String = ft.format(stamp);

Date date1 = ft.parse(date1String);
Date date2 = ft.parse(date2String);


assertTrue(date1.equals(date2)); // true
assertTrue(date1.compareTo(date2) == 0); //true
assertTrue(date2.compareTo(date1) == 0); //true
assertTrue(date2.equals(date1)); // true
