Java Snippets

Converting Strings to int and int to String

String a = String.valueOf(2); 
int i = Integer.parseInt(a);  

Convert String to Date

java.util.Date = java.text.DateFormat.getDateInstance().parse(date String);

or

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd.MM.yyyy" );
Date date = format.parse( myString );

Convert Java util.Date to sql.Date

java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date();
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());

Append text to a File

BufferedWriter out = null;
try {
    out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(”filename”, true));
    out.write(”aString”);
} catch (IOException e) {
    // error processing code
} finally {
    if (out != null) {
