Is there a way to find what weekday a particular day falls on witout
using depricated methods?

example...

    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.set(cYear, cMonth, 1);
    int weekday = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK );

This should tell you what day a given month starts on, but weekday
ALWAYS ends up being zero.

    Date dteDate = new Date(cYear - 1900, cMonth, 1);
    int weekday = dteDate.getDay();

This does work but is depricated. Is there another way?
