JavaBeans Components: An Example

• Use a DateFormat object to get a time string:

  DateFormat timeFormatter = DateFormat.getTimeInstance();
  timeFormatter.setTimeZone(zone);
  Date now = new Date();
  // Suppose the server is in New York, and it's noon there
  System.out.println(timeFormatter.format(now));
  // Prints 9:00:00 AM
