> If an invalid date text is submitted the attribute will > get the current date, while a null value is more appropriate. > The problem is in the DateFormatter constructor where the > "date" variable is initialized to "new Date()" While I see how this could be an issue, setDate does through an IllegalArgumentException if the date was invalid. Here's why date should be assigned to new Date(). This way, I can do: dateFormatter.setFormat(someDateFormatString); dateFormatter.getFormattedDate(); To get the current date in a particular format. To compromise, I think the catch(ParseException e) block (in webwork.util.DateFormatter) should set this.date = null; So if an attempt to set the date is made and fails, then you'll get back null. Any complaints? If not, will someone do this and close the ticket? --Erik ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
