Re: Dates in Java

[KW]

Hi All,
I am trying to create a Date object and get
the date in DD-MON-YY format.
I see getDay(), getMonth() and getYear() methods are
depricated.
Any idea how can I go around it ?

Thanks...KW

You would use a SimpleDateFormat object, and in particular its parse()
method.

Hi
Look at the java api for SimpleDateFormat class.
It has extensive description with nice examples in its api docu.

/* define the formating string (I think the formate is correct for what you
want) */
SimpleDateFormat sTestDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
// building a date
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(tz, Locale.US);
// printing out the formated date
System.out.println(sTestDateFormat.format(cal.getTime()));
