Hi:

Are there any issues with using SimpleDateFormat as a static instance variable and then using it in all the methods as in

public class DateUtil {

public static final String MMDDYYYYFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy";

public static final SimpleDateFormat sdf_MMDDYYYY = new SimpleDateFormat(MMDDYYYYFormat);

public static Date toDate(String dateStr) throws ParseException {

return sdf_MMDDYYYY.parse(dateStr);

}

We have started getting NumberFormatException when invalid data is passed in.  We did not get such exceptions before when we had defined the formatter inside the method. Any ideas?
