How To: Perform "Date Conversion" in ADF/ OAF/ JAVA

I run into the struggle of converting one data type to another all the time. And obviously, I don't recollect instantly how to convert one from another. So here's some notes for me & hopefully they will useful for you as well.

// 1. Get Date from Calendar 
 int year=2016; int month=1; int date=1;
 Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
 cal.set(year, month, date);
 java.util.Date utilDate = cal.getTime();

// 2. Convert java.util.Date to java.sql.Date
 java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date();
 java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());

// 3. Convert java.sql.Date to oracle.jbo.domain.Date
 java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date();
 new jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate);
 /* To get current date & time in jbo.domain.Date */
 java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date();
 java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());
 oracle.jbo.domain.Date jboDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate);

// 4. Convert java.util.Date to java.sql.Timestamp
 java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date();
 java.sql.Timestamp timestamp_now = new java.sql.Timestamp(utilDate.getTime())

Please share your feedback below. Hope you find this helpful!
