Current Date in Java 1.4

For getting Current date in mm/dd/yyyy format I am using the below code

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy");
                Date date = new Date();
                 String date3= sdf.format(date);
                date = sdf.parse(date3);

but everytime I print the date ,it gives me wrong and random output

output

Currentd Date:: 49/22/2013

output

Currentd Date:: 07/22/2013

Kindly suggest as what I should use to get current date. The Java Version I am using is 1.4

Solution

  • Change "mm/dd/yyyy" into "MM/dd/yyyy". m(lowercase) is use for minutes not for month. For month you should use M(uppercase)
