Look at the java.util.Calendar methods. These should work for you.

java.util.List getDateRange(java.util.Date startDate, java.util.Date endDate){
     java.util.Calendar aCalendar;
     java.util.Date testDate;
     java.util.List resultList;
     aCalendar = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
     aCalendar.setTime(startDate);
     testDate = startDate;
     resultList = new java.util.Arraylist();
     while(!testDate.after(endDate)){
          resultList.add(testDate);
          aCalendar.add(java.util.Calendar.DATE, 1);
          testDate = aCalendar.getTime();
     }
     return resultList;
}

Of course, this code depends on whether you want a list of Date objects, how you want to handle startDate coming after endDate (users aren't always going to oblige), etc.

how about you try yourself first and then tell us where the problems are instead of asking people to do your work ASAP....
it's early in the morning...too early for me....
