According to the API doc, this is "[...] using [...] the default date
format symbols for the default locale."
In your case, Chuck, this is Locale.US, so it works for you. My default
locale is Locale.GERMANY, so I have to write:
new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", Locale.US);
> Date now = new Date();
> Date date = dateFormat.parse(now.toString());
The output of now.toString() on my machine is:
Tue Dec 16 01:19:47 CET 2008
The date looks pretty American to me, but Java might not accept CET,
which stands for Central European Time, as a valid timezone for the US
locale (despite there still being US forces in Germany).

This works for me:
C:\dev\Java :: more /t2 TestDate.java
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
class TestDate {
public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
DateFormat dateFormat =
new SimpleDateFormat( "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", Locale.US);
Date now = new Date();
System.out.println( now.toString());
Date date = dateFormat.parse( now.toString());
System.out.println( date.toString());
}
}
Same story in the OP's JSP, of course.
