In my quest for more understanding of the JAVA language, I come to you....

I created a bask JSP that uses JAVA to send data back and forth to a database....my next challenge is within the form I want to place a hidden value that acts like a timestamp...

Then with this value I will send to the database for each record..

So I have been trying to figure out how to go about this...I know in my VB experience a simple var = Now() would do the trick...

But it does not seem to be that easy in JAVA ( at least not to me).

So if someone could help in getting me on the right road, I would be gratefull...

Thank you!
