Setting jcr:Property of type Date with value dynamically

I understood on how set jcr:property of type date by doing this

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

node.setProperty("publishDate",cal);

How to add a property of type Date using Java?

What it does is it sets property with Name and type date but value it takes as the current Local time.

I want to update value.

Can anyone help.

Hi,

You don't need to do anything

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));

child.setProperty(cpropertyName,calendar);

    Hi Arun,

    I did actually

    but while setting property it is prompting me to Cast argument to (Value).

    DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'+00:00'");

            

                java.util.Date date = inputFormat.parse(inputDate);

          

            Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));

            calendar.setTime(date);

    child.setProperty(cpropertyName,(Value) calendar.getTime() );

    When i do cast, it is giving error while setting metadata

    "javax.jcr.Date cannot be casted to javax.jcr.Value"

    Hi,

    did you try different methods or other ways to setup time.

    e.g.

    Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
