Hi ! I'm new to betwixt and i would need some help to convert date fields from xml to java. Here is my problem : I have an object with some Date fields in it. I generate an xml file using betwixt, everything works fine. When i try to parse the xml generated and get a java object, i get an error if a date field is empty (i.e: if date was null when i convert it to xml)
ERROR digester.Digester - Body event threw exception org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException: String to object conversion failed: Unparseable date: "" if no date field is empty, then it works. Here is the XML i tried to convert : <creditBO id="1"> <nmintx/> <tf0013>0.04529</tf0013> <ddve00/> <idcvp1>0000154</idcvp1> <idagb4>936</idagb4> <mtehu4>30.83</mtehu4> <id>272</id> <rfcrc1>501623270102</rfcrc1> <cdmeop>EUR</cdmeop> <dfeh31/> <txit06>3.31</txit06> <datr11>Fri Jun 02 00:00:00 CEST 2006</datr11> <vd0010/> <txmat2>0.0</txmat2> <mtdk20>300.0</mtdk20> <iycct1>N</iycct1> <mtau13>100000.0</mtau13> <idUtlQqo>2</idUtlQqo> <idcr00>00333465399</idcr00> <mtehep2>979.98</mtehep2> <txitm2>3.3100000616961</txitm2> <tygck2/> <typu32>52F07153</typu32> <mteha5>1010.81</mteha5> <natx12>1</natx12> <typee9>M</typee9> <idop11/> <ddam05/> <ducr01>120</ducr01> <sdmi05/> <kb0025/> <dfmik1/> <dtMajQqo>Mon Sep 04 14:44:32 CEST 2006</dtMajQqo> <dtmaj>Mon Sep 04 14:44:32 CEST 2006</dtmaj> <rdpcg2>50856</rdpcg2> <iddsy1>50162327</iddsy1> <txefc1/> <contraintes/> <dtCreation>Mon Sep 04 14:44:32 CEST 2006</dtCreation> <daexp3/> <tf0010>0.04438</tf0010> </creditBO> ddve00 is a date field : if i have <ddve00>Fri Jun 02 00:00:00 CEST 2006</ddve00> it works if i have <ddve00/> is crashes. I looked on the mailing list, and all i found was a message about registering a custom date converter for ConvertUtils, with something like this : MyDateConverter converter = new MyDateConverter(); ConvertUtils.register(converter, java.util.Date.class); I think there must be an easier solution, i just need to be able to get null when the xml contains "" for a date. And if there is no other solution, where can i find some docs or exemple on creating a date Converter. Thanks in advance !
