Re: Time stamp
How are you attaching it to a message as a String in the first place?
Sounds like a job for System.currentTimeMillis().

Re: Time stamp
Let me get my spoon ... open wide .... a search for what you're asking for:
java time stamp - Google Search
Gives you a lot of pages (all but one when I do it) of stuff you probably don't want because there happens to be a class in the java.sql package whose name matches, so I reckon 'spoon-feeding' is ok in this instance. What you're looking for is System.currentTimeMillis() or System.nanoTime(). Read the API documentation about the two methods: they're ok for timestamps but not for unique identifiers nor for accurate measurements.
