date comes up wrong..

Hi, I'm getting the date via

/* Gets the current date and returns it as a string */
    private String getCurDate()
    {
        Calendar d = Calendar.getInstance();
        Date d1 = d.getTime();
        DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
        return df.format(d1);
    }
but it always thinks its a day ahead.. (like it thinks today is the 28th
but its the 27th, and the date on my server and the machine that the
applets comes up on says its the 27th also..)

why is it doing that?

I also tried
/* Gets the current date and returns it as a string */
    private String getCurDate()
    {
        Date d1 = new date
        DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
        return df.format(d1);
    }

but that gave the same result..

thanks
