Question

I have retrieve the Order table form database using hibernate criteria option. In my hbm there is class Order.java in this class there is a variable

private Date createdAt;

like this

and here is my getter and setter like this

  public Date getCreatedAt() {
        return this.createdAt;
    }

    public void setCreatedAt(Date createdAt) {
        this.createdAt = createdAt;
    }

and in my action page i have tried to set the values in createdAt field in different format
like this

   DateFormat formatter ;
   Date date ; 
   formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM");
   Iterator it = salesDetails.iterator();
   while(it.hasNext()){

       Order o=(Order) it.next(); 
       date = (Date)formatter.parse("22-June");
       o.setCreatedAt(date);

       System.out.println(o.getCreatedAt());
   }

But i cannot insert data in this format into this variable as createdAt is a Date variable. But i need to get the data in “date-month” format. I don’t want to display the year there.
How is it possible. Is it possible to get data like this using this createdAt variable?
