Date using Calendar for a spcific Locale

[adithya narayan]

Hi,

I tried the following but it didn't work as expected:

Locale localeItaly = new Locale("it");
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(localeItaly);
Date dateItaly = calendar.getTime();
System.out.println("Date in Italy = "+dateItaly);

which printed :

Date in Italy = Sat Feb 19 14:26:32 IST 2011

I was expecting it to print the current date in Italy.

Can anyone explain?

Thanks,
Adithya.

You could try using Locale.ITALY instead of "it".

Rather than just trying things, I suggest you refer to the API, Calendar API.
