You can specify the date format you wish to use, the use the parse function to retrieve the Date - entered values which cannot be parsed will throw an exception

try{
    SimpleDateFormat form = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    Date date = form.parse("31/11/2009");
}catch(ParseException e){
    //deal with parse error
}

public class date
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
{
 
try{
    SimpleDateFormat form = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    Date date = form.parse("31/11/2009");
}catch(ParseException e){
    //deal with parse error
}
}
}
 
//where i have to put my input stream
