In my school work I needed to implement such a method which can sort my date instance by hour which is set in it. I kept those many instance of the regarding class in a treeset sorted by hour, So the below is example shows that randomly added instances into the treeset is sorted in the treeset which adds up the values in a given sequence whereas I’ve provided the compare method. as you see below in the domain class
Also for your information comparable interface is implemented. By the way don’t you get confused with the dao interface, below you’ll find the custom date format method
Regarding Method
@Override
public Date dateTimeGiven(Integer hour, Integer minute, Integer second) {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hour);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, second);
Date date = calendar.getTime();
return date;
}

import java.util.Date;
