This question is posted here because I am building a desktop app with the java api. The issue is that I dates stored in the back end in the form of NSdates. I need to be able to pull these out and modify them in a meaningful way and then store them again in a way that does not blow up my iOS app.



So my first guess is to just take the string and then convert it to a date for java? Change it and then convert it back to a string? Sounds painful wondering if there is a easier way.



Thanks,

Sean

An alternative that comes to mind is writing a collection hook that changes the date field to a more portable format. Either way date formats are tedious because many platforms have used different standards.

Hi Sean, Did that help answer your question?

That will work. Thanks for the reply!
