Re: date parsing/validation

[Erik Weber]

Please see the API documentation for java.text.SimpleDateFormat's 
pattern syntax, which you are violating with DD/MON/YYYY. "MON" is not 
an acceptable token, and DD is day-in-year, not day in month.

Can anyone please tell what I can do in order to stop
users from entering invalid dates.  The validator does
not raise an error if a user enters 33 as ad day, as
in this sample date: 33/jan/2000.
I am using Struts validator, which is setup as
follows:
			 <field property="dob"
                   depends="maxlength,date">
                   <arg0 key="cargoForm.dob"/>
                  <arg1 name="maxlength"
key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false"/>
                   <var>
                     
<var-name>datePattern</var-name>
                     
<var-value>DD/MON/YYYY</var-value>
                   </var>
                   <var>
                      <var-name>maxlength</var-name>
                      <var-value>11</var-value>
                   </var>
			 </field>

Thanks.
