Re: SDO Date format

[Adriano Crestani]

I have some doubts about if it's acceptable or not, because the Java SDO
specs defines the following format: " yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'.'SSS'Z' " . But
when I look at the testcases, it test many date strings that are not exactly
in this format:

  // Ensure that strings that should be recognized by toDate do not
    // result in a null Date value.

    public void testToDateFormats() throws Exception
    {
        String[] validStrings =
        {
            "2006-03-31T03:30:45.123Z",
            "-2006-03-31T03:30:45.1Z",
            "2006-03-31T03:30:45Z",
            "2006-03-31T03:30:45.123",
            "2006-03-31T03:30:45.1",
            "-2006-03-31T03:30:45",
            "2006-03-31T03:30:45.123 EDT",
            "2006-03-31T03:30:45.1 EDT",
            "2006-03-31T03:30:45 EDT",
            "---05 PST",
            "---04",
            "--12 GMT",
            "--12",
            "--08-08 EST",
            "--08-08",
            "1976-08-08 PDT",
            "1976-08-08",
            "88-12 CST",
            "1988-12",
            "2005 CDT",
            "1999",
            "P2006Y 08M 10D T 12H 24M 07S",
            "P2006Y 10D T 12H",
            "-P2006Y 08M 10D T 07S.2",
            "P08M 10D T 07H",
            "-P 04M 10DT12H 24S.88",
            "PT12H"
        };

        for (int i = 0; i < validStrings.length; i++)
        {
           assertNotNull("DataHelper.toData() should not return null for '"
+ validStrings[i] + "'.",
                   data_helper.toDate(validStrings[i]));
        }

    }

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Adriano Crestani
