Message:

more date formatting

Posted by griff on September 11, 2000 at 11:01 AM

I have a incoming date string i.e

10/04/2000 (dd/mm/yyy)

I want to format this using the following code:

simpleDateFormat formatter = SimpleDateFormat(dd MMM YYYY);
theDate = new java.util.Date("10/04/2000");
output = formatter.format(theDate);

This returns : 4 October 2000 ie mm/dd/yyyy
and not 10 April 2000 ie dd/mm/yyyy as expected

can I change the date object created to the correct format.
