Hi,
Iam retrieving Date values from database(mysql). When i display these dates in a jsp ,those r displaying like this
2007-01-01 00:00:00.0
Actually we dont want that timestamp at the end of the date.
How can i trim that time stamp from date value.
We r using Hibernate to interact with database.
pls give some suggestions regarding this
thanks
may be regex can help u .
Once u get date in String use following
String Date = Date.replaceAll("regex" ,"");
This regex will find all 00:00: at the end of string

By display, I assume you mean something like:
System.out.println(myDate)
or
System.out.println(myDate.toString()); // which is the same thing
Use SimpleDateFormat class to format the date anyway you like.
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd yyyy hh:mm a");
Date d1 = df.parse("July 09 2007 9:00 PM");
DateFormat df2 = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM);
System.out.println("d1 = ["+df2.format(d1)+"]");
try that
Hai mark,
Actually the format() of DateFormat class will return a String object,
but as per our requirementthe date variable should be of type java.util.Date
thanks for responding
Dates in java are just a long indicating millis since the epoch, jan 1, 1970 00:00:00. The display is just that, a display, in which you use the SimpleDateFormat to determine what the user sees. It has no other meaning, and you cannot construct a Date object that doesn't have a time.

Dates in Java take a variety of forms (java.sql.Date, java.util.Date, java.util.Calendar, java.sql.Timestamp, etc.). The java.util.Date is a class, not a long. Whether or not it's represented internally as a long shouldn't matter to the developer.

One can create a Date with a time of 00:00:00.000, however, in case such a thing is necessary. Great point about the display.
