Hi,

Is there a way to do the following without using the deprecated Date
constructor Date(String)?

Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
Date d = new Date("Friday, 24 March 2006");
calendar.setTime(d);

thanks
Andy

Yep, using java.text.SimpleDateFormat:

Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("E, d M y");
Date d = format.parse("Friday, 24 March 2006");
calendar.setTime(d);

(You'll have to handle some exceptions, see the API doc for these)

Bye

Nils

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(2006, Calendar.MARCH, 24);
Date d = calendar.getTime();

How's that?
