can any one pls suggest java formater to get the value as follows:

2005-05-13 07:15:31.22222

Answer 1

AFAIK Java dates are up to millisecond precision, thus you can't format microseconds. The best you can get would be 2005-05-13 07:15:31.22200 (note that the trailing zeros would have to be appended by you, since the millisecond part would be 222 and thus would be formatted as 00222 when having the format string like SSSSS ).

Answer 2

the standard date formats do not support microsecond precision. What you are getting is the milliseconds formatted into a 5 character wide millisecond field.

You would need to do your own manual formatting on microseconds and append it to the string yourself.
