Convert a specified date to a day

[mavina]

I'm trying to convert a date to the day of week.
I know how to do this for the current date, but i'm trying to get the
"day" for the "user specified Date".
For eg. i want to get the name of the day for the date "04/13/2006"

Any ideas??

Thanks!

BigDate has a function to do it. See

IIRC Calendar does too. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/calendar.html

U can use Calendar

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setDate(<whatever date u want>)
c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)
