Calendar days mixed up..

[tomblue84]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm building a calendar-based program..
Having some difficulties with setting the calendar straight, here is my code:

GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, 1);	//setting calendar for the first of that month
              cal.setFirstDayOfWeek(1);
                nod = cal.getActualMaximum(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
                som = cal.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
                
                System.out.println("------------------------------");
                System.out.println("Number of days in month: " +nod);
                System.out.println("First day of month is a (nr): " +som);
                
                               
                //Draw calendar
                for (int i=1; i<=nod; i++){
                        int row = new Integer((i+som-2)/7);  //(1+2-2)/7= 0.11    = 0
                        int column  =  (i+som-2)%7;			 //(1+2-2)%7= 
                        //System.out.println("Row: " +row);
                        //System.out.println("Column: " +column);
                        mtblCalendar.setValueAt(i, row, column);
                }

                //Apply renderers
                tblCalendar.setDefaultRenderer(tblCalendar.getColumnClass(0), new tblCalendarRenderer());

Now "som" always receives a day ahaid of the first day of the month. Expl: this year in march, the first is on a monday.. What does "som = cal.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);" it gets "2" back. Even though I set the firstday on a monday "cal.setFirstDayOfWeek(1);"

How come? Can someone get me some clarity in this?

Thanks alot!


Edit: solved with work around
