Hi there...
I am getting intermittent exceptions when parsing dates.
My formatter is declared as follows:
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
dateFormat.setLenient(false);
These are some of the exceptions that have been thrown:
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "02/04/1980"
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "20/06/1985"
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "05/03/1990"
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "14/09/1973"
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "25/01/2011"
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "25/01/2011"
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "09/07/1965"
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "07/10/1974"
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "27/08/1966"
My unit tests pass when using the "unparseable" dates above, and in
production dates parse correctly basically 99.999% of the time in the
relevant piece of code.
As an example, the following dates parse correctly:
07/06/1978
14/06/1981
04/01/1988
03/10/1965
12/09/1977
30/01/1985
Has anyone come across this before?
Is there a problem with using SimpleDateFormat.setLenient() perhaps?
Regards,
Jason.
