Hi All, I have just started looking into Abdera code and planning to contribute to the Project (if i can).
In RFC4287: Date Consturcts Section<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287#section-3.3>, its mentioned that - A Date construct is an element whose content MUST conform to the "date-time" production in [RFC3339]. In addition, an uppercase **"T" character MUST** be used to separate date and time, and an uppercase **"Z" character MUST** be present in the absence of a numeric time zone offset. But in the org.apache.abdera.model.AtomDate Implementation, When the Date is passed as String, I saw that the PATTERN does not check if the Date Format entered has T or Z. I Tested the Pattern in a sample program. I gave certain WRONG Inputs like -> "2008-09-08A20:00:00B+05:30" or "2008-09-08X23:30:00Y", etc Instead of getting InvalidDateFormat Exception, I got the output as some Irrelevant date. I have tweaked the Date Regex Pattern and code which checks if the Input contains T and Z also. Please let me know, if I am wrong PS: Attaching a sample Java Program which has the tweaked version of the method required for parsing date when passed as String {method: parse(String Date)} -- Regards, Amit M Surana Blog: http://blog.suranaamit.com/ GMF Doc: http://gmfdoc.suranaamit.com/
