Servlets: Retriving current date and time

[RyanY]

How would i go about retriving the current Date and Time in a Servlet? Thanks!

This will get the current time and date and update every 10 seconds

Let me know if this works for ya.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class ClientPull extends HttpServlet {

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
res.setContentType("text/plain");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();

res.setHeader("Refresh", "10");
out.println(new Date().toString());
}
}
