MongoDB DateTime Format

Question

In mongodb adhoc query, before executing the query, how to format the date type element to dd\\mm\\yyyy format and then execute the query?

Answer 1

Date class has a before(date) or after(date) method... It is easy to use: no conversion to seconds/milliseconds.

public void execute(Tuple input) {
    try {
        date=(Date) input.getValueByField("date");
        boolean before = date.before(myDate); // compare the data retrieved with your date.
        if (before) {
            ...
        } else {
            ...
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        logger.error("Error...", e);
    }

This approach is easier than the accepted answer..
