Removing time from a Date object?

Question

I want to remove time from Date object.

DateFormat df;
String date;
df = new SimpleDateFormat(\"dd/MM/yyyy\");
d = eventList.get(0).getStartDate         


        

Answer 1

You can also manually change the time part of date and format in "dd/mm/yyyy" pattern according to your requirement.

  public static Date getZeroTimeDate(Date changeDate){

        Date returnDate=new Date(changeDate.getTime()-(24*60*60*1000));
        return returnDate;
    }

If the return value is not working then check for the context parameter in web.xml. eg.

    
        javax.faces.DATETIMECONVERTER_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE_IS_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE
        true
