comparing two java.utillDate() objects

[ilias basha]

i have a java.util.Date object with a date, and i need to compare how many days difference from current date, so how should i solve this.

essentially they should be in java.util.Date not in calendar.

You are definitely going to need java.util.Calendar for this, as it is the only class* that knows all about nasty things like daylight savings time.

If you can't find anything on Google you can also search this forum, this question has popped up before.


* Perhaps Joda can do it as well but I have no experience with that.
