The variable date is an object of class Date not a string constant. The date object will give you the current date when ever you call on it. You should try to save the time stamp to a string variable. I like to use the Calender class since a lot of the functionalities of the Date class has been deprecated.

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;


class DemoDate

{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();

        String login = cal.getTime().toString();
    }
}

The string login will contain the time stamp.
