Hi,

When using Java's sql ResultSet class I've used getDate() to retreive a
date. However Java 1.5 makes clear Date is deprecated.

My code to get the date (actually I'm interested only in the year although
the MySQL 'date' type is used in the table) looks like this:

Date date = results.getDate("year");
int year = date.getYear() + 1900;  // +1900 == yuck

It works fine, but the compiler says:

Note: C:\...\java\...\FilmDB.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.

Am I missing the way I should be doing this? Or am I correct in using part
of the deprecated API?

Thanks,

MS
