Hi,
I am seeing very strange problem with SimpleDateFormat, sometime I am seeing
four digit month instead of two between clone. For example first clone (JVM) will
return two digit month "01" and another clone (same code) return four digit
month "0001".
Here is the code snippet:
private static String customTimestamp;
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss z");
.....
if (customTimestamp == null)
customTimestamp = formatter.format(new java.util.Date());
We are using JDK 1.3.1, WAS 4 AE, AIX
Any thoughts why i am getting different month length.
Thanks.
SK

Hi Chinmay:
Thanks for your reply.
We are using WebSphere Application Server and for scalability reasons we created cloned AppServer i.e. multiple JVMs are running the same web application.
I am seeing 4 digit month instead of two. For example: For Jan, first JVM shows "01" and 2nd JVM may show "0001". All other informaiton is correct based on format specified in SimpleDateFormat.
Also this problem is not consistent, I saw only twice.
I am using JDK 1.3.1 running on AIX (unix).
Thanks.
Sushil
