Date : Problem while parsing string to date

Hi All ,

I am trying to parse a string to a date object

publicstaticvoid main(String[] args)

{

try

{

DateFormat df =new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");

String tmpDate="27-Jul-2007";

Date date=df.parse(tmpDate);

System.out.println("Parsed date > "+ date);

}

catch(Exception e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

Following is the outcome :

Parsed date > Fri Jul 27 00:00:00 IST 2007

But for a fine reason , i want this parsed object in"dd-MMM-yyy"

format i.e. after parsing the string i want the date object to be in"dd-MMM-yyy"

format .

is there any way to parse a string to a perticular date format ?

thanks and regards

Mukul
