Strictly speaking, there is no Java data type that includes "GMT Date and Time." Java has two classes, Date and Calendar, that can be used to program dates and times.

Er, why aren't you storing your date in the database as a Date type? I think you're asking for trouble trying to store it as a String. If you must, DateFormat has a setTimeZone() method. getTime() returns a long, not an int. Read the javadoc to find out exactly what that value represents.
