---------------------------------
> FastDateParser does not set error indication in ParsePosition

> Key: LANG-1090
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1090
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.4
>
>
> FastDateParser#parse(String,ParsePosition) does not throw ParseException if
> the input cannot be matched.
> If the parse succeeds, the ParsePosition is updated to the index of the next
> character after the last one used, and the error index is left as -1.
> If the parse fails, at present the ParsePosition is not updated at all,
> unlike SimpleDateFormat which is able to set the error Index to the location
> where the error occurr.
> It does not appear to be possible to determine the error location because the
> matching against the format string is all or nothing.
> This means that a successful parse can only be detected by checking whether
> the ParsePosition has been updated.
> This needs to be documented, and some unit tests added.
