Re: Client-Side Date validation

[PMcMahon]

SimpleDateFormat defaults to lenient date parsing (if it can find any way
of constructing a valid date from the entered date it will).  This
behaviour can be replaced with a stricter validation using
setLenient(false).

Does anyone know of a way to validate that the date format entered by the
user in the JTextField corresponds to a specific date format. For example,
I
want to make sure that the user enters the date in this format:
"MM/dd/yyyy"
and the values of the date are valid. SimpleDateFormat class does not throw
exceptions unless the format used is totally incorrect, which is not good
enough.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
