Date format

[Fernando Dominguez]

Hello,

I have this sql date 2009-05-11 00:00:00.0 in to my data base

String fecha = rs.getString("fecha")); // fecha is now 2009-05-11

java.text.SimpleDateFormat df= new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
java.util.Date d = df.parse(rs.getString("fecha"));
System.out.println(d); //shows Thu Oct 29 00:00:00 CET 16
It doesn't retieve the year , I also trying to convert with <fmt:formatDate value='${documento.dateFecha}' type="date" pattern="dd-MM-yyyy"/>
and i get 29-10-0016
I wnayt to get day- moth-year;
why i lost the year?

thanks

Look at the format of your string. Look at the pattern you are passing to SimpleDateFormat. It's not really surprising you are not getting the data you want.

Looks like "2009-05-11" will parse better with "yyyy-MM-dd". Let us know if that helps.
