Re: date problems.......

hi,

I'm trying to write a little program to send myself email reminders at a
date in the future... I wrote a little interface in which I send the
date, body of e-mail.. etc...

problem is date being set is exactly one month into the future from when
I set it.. if I say, for example, send me e-mail on Dec. 12, when I
print out date I sent in form, it prints Jan 12, 2007... to wit:

process info sent with request:

sDate = getParameter("date");
mDate = Integer.parseInt(sDate);
sMonth = getParameter("month");
month = Integer.parseInt(sMonth);
sYear = getParameter("year");
year = Integer.parseInt(sYear);

set date based on info sent with request:

Calendar calDate = Calendar.getInstance();
out.println("calDate: " + calDate + "<br><br>");
   // this prints confusing stuff.. can't make out exactly
   // what date this returns...

calDate.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
out.println("year: " + year + "<br>");
  // (prints what I expect..)

calDate.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
out.println("month: " + month + "<br>");
   // (ditto..)

calDate.set(Calendar.DATE, mDate);
out.println("date: " + mDate + "<br><br><br>");
   // (ditto..)

java.util.Date sendDate = calDate.getTime();

out.println("date to send email: " + sendDate + "<br><br>") ;
// this prints a diff date from values that print above...
// (one month later than date I set..)

thank you...
