You're confusing things. A date is an object holding information about an instant in time (typically this is represented internally as a long), it has nothing to do with formats. Now, for a more thorough explanation, go read the javadocs for the Date object: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Date.html > i only have a date variable like Tue May 12.... If you're using eclipse I'm guessing that you're talking about the value that the "Variables" view in the "Debug" perspective shows for your date. That's the result of the toString method of the Date object, so it is only a specially formatted textual representation of that object. You can format a Date object in almost any way you want with a DateFormat instance in your server-side code (http:// java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html) or with a DateTimeFormat in client-side GWT code (http://google-web- toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/1.6/com/google/gwt/i18n/client/ DateTimeFormat.html) Would you mind describing exactly what you're trying to accomplish ? If it's doable in 2-3 lines of code somebody will eventually paste that 2-3 lines of code and you'll have what you need.
