Date Format Issues

[Steve Dyke]

I do I fix the following when the date from my source is say 01/01/09 I get a result of 01/01/0009.

SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat( "MM/dd/yyyy" );
        
              
       Date startDate  = dateFormatter.parse( rsa.getString("psdatem") );

I think if you specify the year as yy (instead of yyyy) it will parse 09 to 2009.

The exact behavior is explained in the SimpleDateFormat documentation.
