simply i want to give a error massgae after 6pm if user try to access that page..
so i want to check isCurrentTimeBefore 6 pm...

code i tried is...

java.sql.Time time = new Time(System.currentTimeMillis());
System.out.println("\nisBefore6() currentTimeMillis\n"+time);


java.sql.Time time0 = new Time(06,00,00);
System.out.println("\ntime0=\n"+time0.getTime());



System.out.println("\ncompare "+time2.before(time));



but it is NOT working for my requirement..
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

Why are you using class java.sql.Time for this? Use class java.util.Date or java.util.Calendar instead. For example:

Don't write abbreviations like "b4". Read this FAQ.

You will save object creation time if you use the time methods of the System class Note I said time methods; I know of two, so you should consider carefully which is more appropriate for your purposes.

One more thing: Don't prefix integer literals in your source code with a 0 (like 06, 00, 00 in your source code).

Integer literals that are prefixed with a 0 are interpreted by the Java compiler as octal contants, not decimal constants. Try this, you'll see you'll get a compiler error:

Do you understand why that will give you a compiler error?
