Date with an extra Zero appended to the Seconds
807589Aug 25 2008 — edited Aug 25 2008Hello everyone,
I'm new to Java and this might sound like a very silly question.
In the database, I have a date field in which the date is stored in the following format:
8/25/2008 6:38:18 PM
Hibernate is being used to retrieve data from the database and to populate the corresponding Java Object. The java property in the obkect that stores the date is java.util.Date.
The same Date object when I print it using the toString method, it displays in the following format:
2008-08-25 18:38:18.0
I fail to understand what that 0 is doing after the seconds (18:38:18.0) - I dont know how to remove it. Even if I try SimpleDateFormat to only display date as yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:ss - I get a parse exception.
Can anyone tell me - why that trailing zero is appearing after the second and how I can get rid of it.
Appreciate it.
Thanks
