Sorry, I forgot to tell that I'm using a local installation of xwiki 0.9.840

Subject: [xwiki-users] Dates and Groovy

Hello,
 
I'm having a hard time manipulating Date objects in Groovy implementation ...
I basically want to get a timestamp of a month ago. For example I get a timestamp "200611" for now, and I want to retrieve the "200610" string.
 
This is what I'm doing:
 
<%
timestamp = $xwiki.formatDate($xwiki.getCurrentDate(),"yyyyMM")
oldtime = $xwiki.getDate().getTime()-(1000*60*60*24*30)
def olddate = new java.util.Date(oldtime)
oldtimestamp = $xwiki.formatDate(olddate, "yyyyMM")
%>
 
olddate contains a modified date (maybe the computation is wrong but for now it's not my problem). I get an error on last line, a NullPointerException occurring in the formatDate method. But I logged that olddate is not null (it contains a Date), so I don't really understand from where would come the NullPointerException ?????
 
Many thanks in advance,
 
Jérémie
