'd like to change format of actual date. My textfield:
"Day " + new java.util.Date()
Output is:
Day Wed Jan 28 13:32:40
But required output is:
Day 28.01.2009
How to write it correctly?
Thanx for answerr.

On ireport u can set a defined patter for your field ;right click on the field and check the property .leave the class expression as java.lang.Date and edit the pattern.

foster,
In general it's better to use a localized date format. Something like this:
DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, $P{REPORT_LOCALE}).format( new java.util.Date() )
But if you prefer to hardcode the format in your case, you can do it like this:
new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy").format( $P{MyDateParam} )
See more details here:
