Adding Number to a Date

Question

Hi All,
I want to add a number to a date and the resultant should be a date. I am using the code given below for this purpose, but i am getting exception at compile time.
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd'/'mm'/'yyyy");
java.util.Date wp = formatter.parse(WarDt);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(wp);
cal.add(Calendar.DATE ,30);
java.util.Date ed = cal.getTime();
String WarPeriod = formatter.format(ed);
Can anybody help me in solving the problem.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Try to replace cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 30); by cal.add(java.util.Calendar.DATE, +30);
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date wp = null;
try {
wp = formatter.parse("12/12/2003");
catch (ParseException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(wp);
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 30);
java.util.Date ed = cal.getTime();
String WarPeriod = formatter.format(ed);
System.out.println("WarPeriod: "+WarPeriod);
