How to write current date timestamp to log file in Scala[Code Snippet]

Scala doesn’t have its own library for Dates and timestamps, so we need to depend on Java libraries.
Here is the quick method to get current datetimestamp and format it as per your required format. Please note that all the code syntaxes are in Scala, this can be used while writing Scala application.

import java.sql.Timestamp
def getCurrentdateTimeStamp: Timestamp ={
val today:java.util.Date = Calendar.getInstance.getTime
val timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
val now:String = timeFormat.format(today)
val re = java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(now)
re
}

import java.sql.Timestamp
getCurrentdateTimeStamp: java.sql.Timestamp

getCurrentdateTimeStamp
res0: java.sql.Timestamp = 2018-03-18 07:48:00.0
