date/time in groovy

[Pierre Smits]

Hi all,

In a .groovy file I want to capture from a query-string a date-time string
for the start of a period ( &psd=2010-09-01 09:14:00.000) and a date-time
string for the end of a period (&ped=2010-09-06 10:46:13.000).

In the .groovy file I have following code:

periodStartDate = parameters.psd;
tmpPSD =
UtilDateTime.getDayStart(UtilDateTime.toTimestamp(periodStartDate));

periodEndDate = parameters.ped;
tmpPED = UtilDateTime.getDayEnd(UtilDateTime.toTimestamp(periodEndDate));

But when I look at the result of both tmpPSD and tmpPED I don't get the
expected DayStart value for tmpPSD or DayEnd value for tmpPED, but the
DayStart and DayEnd values for today....

How can I resolve this?

Regards,

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

Sounds like getDayStart() is being passed a null argument.  Either parameters.psd is returning null or toTimestamp() is.
