Split date/time strings

Question

I have a ReST service which downloads information about events in a persons calendar...

When it returns the date and time, it returns them as a string

e.g. d

This is just a Idea, you can do some thing like this without splitting

    DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm a");
    Date date = formatter.parse("12/8/2012 11:25 am");      
    Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.setTime(date);
