Check out java.text.SimpleDateFormat It is one of my BEST FRIENDS!
Used something like this:
static SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
...
Date myDate = new Date();
...
out.println(sdf.format(myDate));

Subject: Re: Using DATE and CALENDAR objects...
Chris,
Unfortunately, I do have to parse dates to extract needed information. The
app I'm building is a log analysis tool that expects not only the complete
timestamp, but also needs the day_of_week, day_of_month, et cetera, broken
out. We take that information, along with other environment variables to
compile access/usage reports for the higher ups. And I have to use
PreparedStatements due to the fact that I'm doing joined-table inserts. I
just haven't figured out how to incorporate the DATE/CALENDAR stuff into
them yet... ;)
I've been through the docs at:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/ but they're more confusing
than anything and provide no examples that I can decipher at this point. I
also went to the tutorial suggested by Geert as well but that is much more
convoluted than what I'll need, I'm thinking.
Nonetheless, I appreciate all the feedback and help!
David

The best way is to use PreparedStatement's and the
setDate/setTime/setTimestamp methods. Then you don't have to parse the
dates at all.
