I need a date... No, really!

[George Larry]

How can I get todays date as a string in the form mm/dd/yy?

[Junilu Lacar]

try SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy") or if you are using JSPs, you might try using the Jakarta DateTime Taglibs

Yes, but how do I get TODAY's date?... that's the first part, then I need to convert it to a string in the mm/dd/yy format.
Thanks.

java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date();
Initializes "now" to the current time and date. Then you can use the dateformatting code listed above to get it as a String.
This isn't JSP-related, BTW -- it's basic Java.
