Convert String date into java.util.Date in the dd/MM/yyyy format
<p>I read more questions on the web but I dont' find a solution yet.</p>

<p>I have a <strong>String</strong> like "14/05/1994", exactly in this format.</p>

<p>I need to covert it into <strong>java.util.Date</strong> in the <strong>same format</strong>.</p>

<p>I tried:</p>

<pre><code>    DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    Date dataFrom = new Date();
    dataFrom = df.format("14/05/1994");
</code></pre>

<p>But the result is: Sat May 14 00:00:00 CET 1994</p>

<p>It's possibile have as a result: 14/05/1994 not as a String, but as java.util.Date? </p>
