Issue in converting String to Date in Data Mapper

[Anonymous]

I am currently concatenating Start Date and Start Time from input to StartTS in output in Talend Data Mapper but both the field I am taking as String. 

How should I change the datatype in output JSON to Date ??

Inputs needed please..

@varmav2 , I suggest you to concatenate the date and time and then covet sting to date using TalendDate.parseDate() function.

Thanks Manohar for your prompt response.

Can you tell me where to concatenate the date and time and then convert string to date using TalendDate.parseDate() function??? How can we achieve this in tHMap???
