Ahem... I would complain had they not chosen to use Calendar. Calendar.getTime() makes conversion to a Date object easy, and Calendar is much more powerful. Date doesn't support TimeZones very well at all. Of course, there's more pain involved than there would have been in java.util.Date had been implemented RIGHT the first time, but that's a whole different ballgame. :-) > > > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
