Issue seems to be that DateFormatUtils.ISO_DATETIME objects are FastDateFormat objects; whereas parseDate uses SimpleDateFormat. The former supports "ZZ" whereas the latter does not.
Java 1.4 (not sure about later) had 'Z' which meant +0100. FastDateFormat adds 'ZZ' to support the ISO standard of +01:00. ie) presumably your actual value is +0100+0100. Solution is probably to have parseDate use FastDateFormat, though there will always be the issue that getPattern from FastDateFormat may not work with SimpleDateFormat. Could I get you to open up a JIRA issue? http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG Thanks for finding this, Hen On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 5:32 AM, Aaron Zeckoski<azecko...@gmail.com> wrote: > I cannot see why this is failing but here is my code: > > Date parseDate(String dateStr) { > Date d = null; > if (dateStr != null && !
