type conversion - Converting String to Date in java -

i programming in java , , little problem since yesterday in parsing date (converting string date)

string db= obj.getdebut(); // = "fri may 24 18:47:31 gmt+01:00 2013" string pattern2 = "eee mmm d hh:mm:ss zzzz yyyy"; date datedebutentree = new simpledateformat(pattern2).parse(db);     

thank help

your application language appears french. if default locale likewise, throw parseexception when attempting parse english day , month fields. use locale.english instead:

string pattern2 = "eee mmm d hh:mm:ss z yyyy"; date datedebutentree = new simpledateformat(pattern2, locale.english).parse(db);
