Packages and date class

Question

hi,
i'm new to java so this question can be stupid. i try to write a package which i'll use later in a jsp page. here is the code:
package anc_pck;
public class str_ops
     public String format_date(String day,String mounth,String year)
          String mysql_date = year + "-" + mounth + "-" + day;
          return (mysql_date);          
     public int control_date()
          java.util.Date curDate = new java.util.Date();
          int temp;
          temp = curDate.getDate();               
          return (temp);
When i try to compile it javac gives error such like:
c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.5\classes\anc_pck\str_ops.java:18: warning: getDate() in java.util.Date has been deprecated
temp = curDate.getDate();
^
What is the problem?

Answer 1

Here is the new code:
package anc_pck;
public class str_ops
     public String format_date(String day,String mounth,String year)
          String mysql_date = year + "-" + mounth + "-" + day;
          return (mysql_date);          
     public String control_date()
          Date curDate = new Date();
          DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
          String s = df.format(curDate);
          return (s);
and new errors of course:
c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.5\classes\anc_pck\str_ops.java:15: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Date
location: class anc_pck.str_ops
Date curDate = new Date();
