Have a look at the java.text.DateFormat in the API doc - it might have what
you need.

Subject: Getting date in yyyymmdd
Hello,
I have a hidden Date field in a form. Before the
servlet can add a record to the database, I need to
set this date field to the current date but I can't
seem to get the year in the format of yyyy. Also, I
need the Date and the month to always be of two
characters. Like today it is set as 99526 but I need
it as 19990526.
I've been using
Date c1crdt = new Date();
String curdate =
c1crdt.getYear()+c1crdt.getMonth()+c1crdt.getYear();
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks,
J
