Hello, Ok, I found Philip's patch here: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgId=116180
Am I missing something or is this patch specific to Philip's application? I'm referring to the DATE_OFFSET value of 200 years. Is there any way of making it more generic? For instance, I'm dealing with dates whose values I do not know ahead of time. Some dates that I see are 09-Jun-102 or 25-Oct-100. These are dates returned by various broken web servers out there. These particular dates should obviously be 09-Jun-2002 and 25-Oct-2000. What can we do in DateField to allow indexing of dates before 1970? Does anyone have any suggestions?
