Hello,
I have a form in which a user enters a date in the format mm/dd/yy.
Now, the servlet that takes the input from this form, converts it to a Julian
Date(yyyyMMdd) before storing it in a table.
I have been doing this by the following:
..
SimpleDateFormat dat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
String date1 = req.getParameterValues("indate")[0];
Date date2 = new Date(date1);
date1 = dat.format(date2);
..
and now date1 contains the format in yyyyMMdd. Fine, but if the user enters a date
that is
invalid like 02/32/99, it doesn't catch an exception but returns
19990304.
Is there any way by which I could catch an exception so that I could inform the user
that
the date is invalid.
Thanks
