Do Controller Extension and use below working code snippet in controller.
In Controller processRequest
// Show Current date on Page
OAMessageDateFieldBean currentdate = // no need to specify a data type
// always specify name
(OAMessageDateFieldBean)createWebBean(pageContext,
OAWebBeanConstants.MESSAGE_DATE_FIELD_BEAN,
null, "datefield");
currentdate.setReadOnly(true);
pageLayoutBean.addIndexedChild(currentdate);
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
String dateString =
am.getOADBTransaction().getCurrentDBDate().toString();
java.sql.Date sqlDate = null;
try {
sqlDate = new Date(f.parse(dateString).getTime());
System.out.println("What is sqlDate value ********** " + sqlDate);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.getMessage();
}
OAMessageDateFieldBean dateField =
(OAMessageDateFieldBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("datefield");
if (dateField != null) {
dateField.setValue(pageContext, sqlDate);
System.out.println("I am checking dateField not null ********* " + dateField );
}
