I am using this code to parse a Date.

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat formatterParse = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String s = formatter.format(formatterParse.parse(m.get("lastModifiedDate")));

m is a HashMap and someModifiedDate is coming as 2010-11-26

EDIT: I get InvalidTypeEception. java. Genereated value (java.sql.Date) incompatible with java.lang.String

    The snippet below works fine.

    Map<String, String> m = new HashMap<String, String>() {{
    put("lastModifiedDate", "2010-11-26");
}};

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat formatterParse = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String s = formatter.format(formatterParse.parse(m.get("lastModifiedDate")));

System.out.println(s);

    The output is 11/26/2010, thus either

    1. …you expected something different (what?) in which case you need to revise your code, or
    2. …something is wrong in your code elsewhere.
