date format issue string to java util date

Question

I am new to Date functions. i have a date as a string '03/10/2014' - month/date/year. i need to convert this like '10-MAR-14' util date format. How can i do this please help me.

i used 'MM/dd/yyy' and 'dd-MMM-yyy' formats.

 public static Date convertStringToDate(String aMask, String strDate) throws ParseException { SimpleDateFormat df; Date date; df = new SimpleDateFormat(aMask); if (log.isDebugEnabled()) { log.debug("converting '" + strDate + "' to date with mask '" + aMask + "'"); } try { date = df.parse(strDate); } catch (ParseException pe) { //log.error("ParseException: " + pe); throw new ParseException(pe.getMessage(), pe.getErrorOffset()); } return (date);

to do this. but gives me parse exception. Appreciate your help

but database column has the date-Month-year eg: 09-MAR-14. this does not give the result. i need to this conversion for hibernate criteria search. Database has results. but this conversion does not give the results.

You missed a y in the expression, use MM/dd/yyyy

The following code will make a method and use it your logic

 import java.text.ParseException; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Calendar; import java.util.Date; import java.util.GregorianCalendar; public class ex { public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-M-yyyy"); String dateInString = "15-08-2014"; Date date = null; try { date = sdf1.parse(dateInString); } catch (ParseException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy"); Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(date.getYear(),date.getMonth(),date.getDate()); System.out.println("Date :" + sdf.format(calendar.getTime())); }

} `

Thank you this is very helpful. I need to add one day to the date. how can i fix that issue

 SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy"); Date date = new Date(); String format = dateFormat.format(date); System.out.print("format is:"+format);

Just follow this Simply

It seems that the MSDN library has a format utility that can be downloaded to your project. See the link

Sorry for downvote. The question was belongs to Java so MSDN library could help.
