Assigning value of one timestamp to another

[devaki hanumante]

I want to assign the value of one timestamp to another in java.
eg:
Timestamp1=timestamp2;

now after that i write the following piece of code
t1.setHours(00);
t1.setMinutes(00);

as a result of this even timestamp2 is getting changed.
is this because they both point to the same object..how do i assign the value of timestamp2 to timestamp1?

yes

You will need to create a new instance of Timestamp that has the same value as the original instance. Using the clone method is probably the easiest way to do this.
