Whats the best way to set a calendar object to null? The reason I want to do this is I have a text box containing a date and under some circumstance I need to blank the date.

I'm starting a job in about a month as a java developer, mainly JSP using sybase database I think. Thing is most of my experience is with C++ and a bit with C and C#. I also have quite a bit of experince with web development ASP, PHP and ASP.NET which from what I heard is very similar to JSP, but no experience with JSP.

I want to brush up on my java and OOP skills and learn the basics of JSP and database access, which I image shouldn't be too difficult with my experience. I'm probably an average programer in ability. But I don't want a book to teach me programming with java, I already know how to program.

So basically, I want a book that will help me transition from the C++ mindset to the java mindset, refresh me on modern object oriented development methods that are used in industry, and introduce me to JSP and JDBC.

Any recommendations? One book that could cover that would be best but multiple ones if not.

thanks.

hello, I've been learning Java for a few months after studing c++ for about 2 years. Below is a program I am working on. I know it is kinda long and really messy. I'm having some problems with certain things, such as were I should put certain code, and what the standard style is. The code gets a compile error at the throws IOexception. Any help I appreciated.
