convert XMLGregorianCalendar to date i.e "MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss AM"
You can do this to return a Date
:
calendar.toGregorianCalendar().getTime()
I found that code from this tutorial. From there, you can use a SimpleDateFormat to turn it into a string in the format you want.
But, if you're using JDBC to save the date in the database, you probably can pass in the Date
directly with this method:
preparedStatement.setDate(colNum, myDate);
Here is more clear answer:
Get instance of Date from XMLGregorianCalendar instance:
Date date = xmlCalendar.toGregorianCalendar().getTime();
I found that code from Convert XMLGregorianCalendar to Date in Java
Format that Date instance with format "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a", you will get MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss AM format
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
String formattedDate = formatter.format(date)

For inserting database you would do what Daniel suggested
If you want to insert your date on a database I would first do what Daniel suggested:
XMLGregorianCalendar xgc=<assume this is initialized>;
Date timestamp=xgc.toGregorianCalendar().getTime();
and later insert it through a PreparedStatement as Timestamp in milliseconds (Epoch time). That way you won't loose precision.
preparedStatement.setTimestamp(colNum,new Timestamp(timestamp.getTime()));
