Extract year from a date object ?

[jrosh]

I used below code to extract year from a date object.

java.util.Date ye = new java.util.Date();  
           		int y = ye.getYear();
           		       		
           		System.out.println(y);

But it prints ,109

How I get the year as 2009??

Don't use these methods:
ye.getYear()
They are deprecated.
Instead use the java.util.Calendar
And use the get method

Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
rightNow.get(Calendar.MONTH);

This will return the month. Read the static fields of the API

Specifically, you should use:

Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = now.get(Calendar.YEAR);

Alternately, if you need the date formatted in various strings, you should use the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class. Google it and the Javadoc page has lots of details about how to use it...
