i'm sorry as i'm to used to chat in msn for short form.
by the way, i have tried some simple codes, but why after formatting the time, it become all zeros? below are my codes
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.*;
public class testSetTimeZone{
     public static void main(String [] args){
          //try{
          String dateTime="200506010900";//2005 06 01 0900 GMT+8
          String forDate=dateTime.substring(0,8);
          System.out.println(forDate);
          TimeZone tz=TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+8");
          DateFormat df= DateFormat.getDateInstance();
          df.setTimeZone(tz);
          System.out.println("TimeZone Set");
          Date fDate = new Date(2005+1900,6,1,9,3,0);
          System.out.println("Date/time:"+fDate);
          String formateddate=df.format(fDate);
          System.out.println("Date/time:"+formateddate);
          Date f1date=new Date(formateddate);
          System.out.println("Date/time:"+f1date);
          int a = f1date.getHours();
          int b=f1date.getMinutes();
          int c=f1date.getSeconds();
          System.out.println("Hours"+a+" Minutes"+b+" Seconds"+c);     //}
          //catch(java.text.ParseException e){
}
