hi. On my JSP web page I want to display the current date in the SHORT format,i.e, dd/MM/yy. Presently, I am using the line of code below:

<%= new java.util.Date() %>

This displays the date in the foramt below:
Mon Dec 30 14:00 GMT 2002

How do I display the date in the format 31/12/02? Plz help me. I also need to use this format to insert the current date in my database. So this is very important.
