Mule - Converting String to Date - mule

Question

I have a csv file which looks like this :
I am iterating the CSV file using For each after converting it to Java ArrayList using Dataweave.
Now, I need to convert one of the elements which is Date from String to Oracle Timestamp. Please help with your thoughts. The source code looks like this :
<flow name="testFlow">
<file:inbound-endpoint path="src/main/resources/input"
moveToDirectory="src/main/resources/output" connector-ref="File"
responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="File"/>
<dw:transform-message metadata:id="4e33c7ff-c33b-4c78-be34-79a154aa16df"
doc:name="Transform Message">
<dw:input-payload doc:sample="sample_data\list_csv.csv"/>
<dw:set-payload><![CDATA[%dw 1.0
%output application/java
---
payload]]></dw:set-payload>
</dw:transform-message>
<logger level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
<foreach collection="#[payload]" doc:name="For Each">
<logger message="#[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
</foreach>
</flow>
Flow design looks like this :

Answer 1

Basically what you need to do is to convert the date field which is a string in csv to date format. To do it just provide the format of the incoming data field and it will work for the below input example(csv is comma separated) :-
foo,bar,Name,Date
foo1,baar1,Name1,15-01-2016 12:08
foo2,baar2,Name2,15-01-2016 12:08
you can try below dw :-
%dw 1.0
%output application/java
---
payload map {
foo : $.foo,
bar : $.bar,
Name : $.Name,
Date : $.Date as :date {format: "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm" }
}
