Is it possible to have mm/yy format?

Question

Hi,
In our application, we need only month and year. I checked DateFormat class and it expects dd/mm/yy.
I don't know how to parse string if user enters mm/yy.
Thx for help in advance!

Here's an example using SimpleDateFormat:import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class DateFormatTest {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SimpleDateFormat form = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/yy");
      StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("");
      // test formatting
      System.out.println(form.format(new Date(), sb, new FieldPosition(0)));
      // test parsing
      Date d = form.parse("10/01", new ParsePosition(0));
      System.out.println(d);
}
