Date Question

[Vineela Devi]

Hi All,

I want to get the SystemDate in this specific format "yyyy-MM-dd".If i do this with format() method in SimpleDateFormat Class the return type is String.If i use the parse method of the same Class then again the actual SystemDate is returned(but not the formatted form)

But, I want the final result to be of Type Date.i.e. I want to get the System Date displayed in the above specified format and the type of the result should be Date.

Pls Help me.

Thanks in Advance,

Vineela

I didn't find SystemDate in J2SE API.

SystemDate is neither a Class nor method.

What i mean by system Date is the Current Date.

If you're thinking of keeping the date object to the format that you've formatted, I'm sorry, its not possible.

To display the date object into your desired format, you've to convert it to a String as you'd done it already.
