Get the day of the week & month in word from constructor into main with input

[Ween Li]

Hi

i need to modify this code to fit the requirement.....any help and sample would be appreciated..
For this program, i need to: take in day, month,year of a date as int argument, return the day of the week for the date entered in App()

In Main: call the App() to get the day of the week to display when user enter the date in dd/mm/yyyy
StringTokenizer is required for this program.

- How can the arguments pass back to main by returning of month & day of the week?
- Program cant take in int and return as string
- Date cant display day of the week

Program output: 29 Aug 2010 is a Sunday

    
import java.util.*;
 
public class App2 {
	
    private int day;
    private int month;
    private int year;
    
    	private int inputDay;
       	private int inputMonth;
       	private int inputYear;
    
    public static String App2(String day2, String month2, String year2) { // this is wrong should pass int in
    
		String date = day2 + month2 + year2;
    	DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");   
    		       
		try
    	{
		Date today = df.parse(date);                
		System.out.println("Today = " + df.format(today)); 
    	}
 		catch(ParseException e)
    	{
    	}
			
          if(month2.equals("01") || month2.equals("1")){month2 = "January";}               
          else if(month2.equals("02") || month2.equals("2")){month2 = "February";}               
          else if(month2.equals("03") || month2.equals("3")){month2 = "March";}               
          else if(month2.equals("04") || month2.equals("4")){month2 = "April";}               
          else if(month2.equals("05") || month2.equals("5")){month2 = "May";}               
          else if(month2.equals("06") || month2.equals("6")){month2 = "June";}               
          else if(month2.equals("07") || month2.equals("7")){month2 = "July";}               
          else if(month2.equals("08") || month2.equals("8")){month2 = "August";}               
          else if(month2.equals("09") || month2.equals("9")){month2 = "September";}               
          else if(month2.equals("10")){month2 = "October";}               
          else if(month2.equals("11")){month2 = "November";}               
          else if(month2.equals("12")){month2 = "December";}
          
		return month2;
    }
    public static void main (String [ ] args){
    	Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
       	System.out.print("Enter the date in dd/mm/yyyy: ");
       	String date = sc.nextLine();
       	StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(date, "/"); 
       	String day = st.nextToken();
       	String month = st.nextToken();
       	String year = st.nextToken();
       	App2(day, month, year);
       	String test = App2(day, month, year);
       		System.out.print(test);
	}
