package sloppycode; import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import java.util.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; import java.text.*; public class DateExample extends HttpServlet { public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.setContentType("text/html"); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); /* Make up date + time */ SimpleDateFormat dFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("EEEE dd MMMM yyyy - HH:mm:ss a"); Date timeNow = new Date(); String dateTimeString = dFormat.format(timeNow); out.println(dateTimeString); } }
