Degrade gracefully when reading invalid date values
---------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-3083
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3083
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Priority: Minor
As noted in JCR-1996, it is possible for an old version of Jackrabbit to store
date invalid date values in the repository. Currently such values cause
exceptions when the repository attempts to read them. A better approach would
be to automatically detect such dates and map them instead to string values to
avoid losing any information. A client could then access the information as a
string through the normal JCR API, and would only get a ValueFormatException
when trying to read the value as a date, i.e. using the getDate() method.
