Basically get a Calendar instance using Calendar.getInstance() then use the
Calendar.setTime() [strangely named] method to set in the Date (either
java.util.Date or java.sql.Date/Time/Timestamp will do). Once that is done
you can use the Calendar.get() method to get any piece you want.
Calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) will give you the Day of the Week Number.

> Unfortunately, I do have to parse dates to extract needed information. The
app I'm building is a log analysis tool that expects not only the complete
timestamp, but also needs the day_of_week, day_of_month, et cetera, broken
out. We take that information, along with other environment variables to
compile access/usage reports for the higher ups. And I have to use
PreparedStatements due to the fact that I'm doing joined-table inserts. I
just haven't figured out how to incorporate the DATE/CALENDAR stuff into
them yet... ;)

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/ but they're more confusing
than anything and provide no examples that I can decipher at this point. I
also went to the tutorial suggested by Geert as well but that is much more
convoluted than what I'll need, I'm thinking.
