Cannot Enter Oracle Date

Question

I am using WLW to create a simple interface to an Oracle table containing date
columns.
The tool by default defines the XML schema as dateTime, and I get the following
error upon inputting a date in the format "ccyy-mm-dd".
I have tried manually edited the code to change things from TIMESTAMP to DATE,
sql.Timestamp to sql.Date, etc. but haven't gotten around the error.
Any advice on the best way to handle inputting Oracle dates would be appreciated.
Caught an error converting a String to a java.sql.Timestamp
Caught an error converting a String to a java.sql.Timestamp
NetUI Warning: Unable to update expression "{actionForm.est_start}". The typical
cause is that the object represented by the expression is not available or is
the wrong type for updating. Cause: com.bea.wlw.netui.script.ExpressionUpdateException:
Exception when attempting to update the expression "{actionForm.est_sta
rt}" with available binding contexts [actionForm, pageFlow, globalApp]. Root cause:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff

Hi,
When setting properties on form beans we have to do type conversions if the form's property is something other than String. So if your timestamp format does not match the format our type conversion code parses, then there will be errors. If that is the case here, then the solution is to change the type of the form bean's property to String and convert it to a timestamp internal to the form bean.
Let me know, if it works.
