So do I need to instantiate a new calendar?
When I put that code in, it's telling me that Calendar cannot be resolved.

RE: Comparing dates??






What's probably happening is that b.getSchedPickUpDateCal() is returning 
2005 July 13 00:00:00.000 and Calendar.getInstance() is returning 2005 
July 13 11:28:33.179, which is obviously "after". (Do some debugging to 
confirm this is correct.) To normalize your Calendar so its time portion 
is all zeros:

today.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
today.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
today.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
today.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

(Don't use the Calendar.HOUR constant or your code will work in the 
morning but not in the afternoon. Took me a while to figure that one out!)

Subject: Comparing dates??

Hello all,
This might seem like a noob question, but I'm trying to compare two dates 
and it's not working like I expect.
In my JSP I have:
                java.util.Calendar today = 
java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
                if ((today.after(b.getSchedPickUpDateCal())) && 
(b.getSchedPickUpDateCal()!=null)){

Where b.getSchedPickUpDateCal returns the date of the scheduled pickup. 
What's happening is that if the date of the pickup and the current date 
are the same, this today.after() is returning true?  I have no idea what's 
going on, but that's what it is doing.  Am I doing this right?
