Generally, the dates are stored in long timestamp format in the database.
This simple class can convert the timestamp date to real date format.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
package com.kushal.util;
import java.util.Date;
public class DateFromLong {

	public static void main(String ags [])
	{
		long dateInLongFormat=1212499200000L;
		Date date=new Date(dateInLongFormat);

		System.out.println(date);

	}

}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the sample output for the long date give above:

Tue Jun 03 08:20:00 CDT 2008
