Hi,
This blog explains you to calculate the Day of the week when the date is provided
Here is the java code
String date = "06302009";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat( "MMddyyyy" );
Date d = sdf.parse(date);
Date d2;
System.out.println("D is - "+d.getDay());
This will give you the day value on 30th of July 2009
(0- Sunday, 1- Monday, 2- Tuesday, 3- Wednesday, 4- Thursday, 5- Friday, 6- Saturday)
