Checking days in Feb..

Question

Entered 02-29-2001 as input date and noticed that BC4J converts this date to 2001-03-01. How can I get the entered value (2001-02-29)in EntityImpl set method? I would write a method and check the entered date.
Please respond.
Thanks in advance!!
Appreciate, if some one has working code!!

Answer 1

You could write a validation like this to check if a date was a leap year:
  public void setHiredate(Date value)
    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    value.timestampValue(c);
     * Recall that the MONTH value is zero-based.
    int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
    int day   = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    if (month == 2 && day == 29) {
      throw new AttrValException(EmpImplMsgBundle.class,
                                 EmpImplMsgBundle.LEAP_YEAR_INVALID,
                                 getEntityDef().getName(),
                                 "Hiredate",null,null);
    setAttributeInternal(HIREDATE, value);
