You can use java.text.DateFormat object methods.

Refer the api they explained how to use it:

Thanks once again Mr Reddy.

The string date which i am getting from the database is:
2006-03-14 00:00:00.000

I did the following thing .

SimpleDateFormat dt_Format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
Date d_t = dt_Format.parse(pay_Date);
String dt = dt_Format.format(d_t);

But when executing my jsp page teh tomcat is throwing the error:

Unparseable date: "2006-03-14 00:00:00.0"


So what to do now??

Jignesh,

Try this:
String dateString = "2006-03-14 00:00:00.000"; // i guess u get it from db
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = format.parse(dateString);
format.applyPattern("dd-MM-yyyy");
String dt = format.format(date);
