Problem with SimpleDateFormat

[Parameswaran Thangavel]

Hi all
when i run the below code i am getting the unexpected result.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-DD");
String strExprDate = "2007-10-10";

Date exprDate = sdf.parse(strExprDate);

System.out.println(strExprDate);
System.out.println(exprDate);

I am getting the below result
2007-10-10
Wed Jan 10 00:00:00 EST 2007

Actually the output in second line should be for the month Oct, i donno why i am getting Jan. Am i missing something.

Your format:

yyyy-MM-DD

is asking for four digits to represent the year, followed by two to represent the month, followed by two to represent the day in the year. Since the tenth day of the year is in January your date becomes a January date. Try dd instead of DD.
