Getting Day, month and year from Date object

Question

hello everybody,
Date mydate = Resultset.getDate(indexField);
Now i would like to get day, month and year from mydate.
In another words, i'm looking for something equivalent to
mydate.getDay() as this method is deprecated.
Can somebody help me out please?
Thank you in advance,

swvc2000,
Here is a sample class that demonstrates two ways in which to do this.import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class DateSplitter {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      /* even though your date is from a result set,
         pretend the following date is your date that
         you are using. The try catch block is used
         because I hand-crafted my date using
         SimpleDateFormat.  Substitute your date.*/
      Date yourDate = null;
      try {
         SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
         yourDate = formatter.parse("05/06/2000");
      } catch (ParseException e) { }
      //the following gets the current date
      Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
      //use the calendar object to set it to your date
      c.setTime(yourDate);
      //note months start at zero
      int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
      int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
      int dayOfMonth = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
      System.out.println("Calendar Month: "+month);
      System.out.println("Calendar Day: "+dayOfMonth);
      System.out.println("Calendar Year: "+year);
      System.out.println();
      /* Simple date format can also be used to strip them
         out of your date object.  When you use it, notice that
         months start at 1.  Also, it returns string values.  If
         you need integer values, you will have to use
         Integer.parseInt() as I did below.  If you are
         only concerned about the string values, just remove
         the Integer.parseInt part. */
      DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("M");
      month = Integer.parseInt(formatter.format(yourDate));
      System.out.println("SDF Month: "+ month);
      formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("d");
      dayOfMonth = Integer.parseInt(formatter.format(yourDate));
      System.out.println("SDF Day: "+ dayOfMonth);
      formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy");
      year = Integer.parseInt(formatter.format(yourDate));
      System.out.println("SDF Year: "+ year);
   }//end main
}//end DateSplitter classtajenkins
