JdbcXYDataset Data Conversion

[Artemis]

Hi,

I've got a database storing the timeseries data with date,close price...
the method data.getXValue in the JdbcXYDataSet returns a value like '821894400000' instead of the exact date value '1996-02-01'.

I want to get back the string value in the date format as in the database.
How can I do so ?

Much Thanks.

Artemis

That number is the number of milliseconds since 1-Jan-1970, so you can easily convert it back into a java.util.Date. That's what the DateAxis classes do for generating tick labels.

Thanks DG.

But I'm not quite sure how to do so. Can you give some suggestions ?

Thanks
