Subtracting x days from current date in JSP

[mleefiend]

Hi - I'm new to JSP/Java and I need to be able to subtract x number of days from the current day (ie, display the full date 10 days ago today). Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.Calendar;


public class TestDate {


public TestDate() {
}

public void run()
{
GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();

// Todays date

System.out.println(gc.get(Calendar.DATE) + "/" +
(gc.get(Calendar.MONTH)+ 1) + "/" +
gc.get(Calendar.YEAR));

// Two days ago

gc.add(Calendar.DATE, -2);

System.out.println(gc.get(Calendar.DATE) + "/" +
(gc.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1) + "/" +
gc.get(Calendar.YEAR));

// take off another 30 Days

gc.add(Calendar.DATE, -30);
System.out.println(gc.get(Calendar.DATE) + "/" +
(gc.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1) + "/" +
gc.get(Calendar.YEAR));
