inactivedate=25/APR/14
s
my code is
try
                           String s_ActivDate = getValueFromTable("S", "EXCEPTION_NAME", "EXCEPTION_NAME", s_exceptionName, "EXCEPTION_NAME_DATE_ACTIVE");
                           String s_InactiveDate = getValueFromTable("S", "EXCEPTION_NAME", "EXCEPTION_NAME", s_exceptionName, "EXCEPTION_NAME_DATE_INACTIVE");  
                            System.out.println("Systemoutdateafer "+sDate);
                            System.out.println("Systemouts_InactiveDateafter "+s_InactiveDate);
                            System.out.println("Systemouts_ActivDateafter "+s_ActivDate);
                            System.out.println("Systemouts_ActivDateafter "+s_exceptionName);
                            //if (validate.validateException(s_exceptionName))
                            if(s_ActivDate != null)
                         if(s_InactiveDate != null)
                         if(!isActive(sDate,s_InactiveDate, s_ActivDate))    
                                System.out.println("Systemoutdate "+sDate);
                                System.out.println("Systemouts_InactiveDate "+s_InactiveDate);
                                System.out.println("Systemouts_ActivDate "+s_ActivDate);
                                System.out.println("Systemouts_ActivDate "+s_exceptionName);
                        } catch (SQLException ex)
                             System.out.println("Systemouts_ActivDate "+s_exceptionName);
                            java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(ValidateFile.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
public boolean isActive(String sValueDate, String sInactive, String sActive)
        Date date_active;
        Date date_inactive;
        System.out.println("Value Date "+sValueDate+" Active "+sActive+" InActive"+sInactive);
        try
            date_active = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(sActive);
            Date dt_valueDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(sValueDate);
            if(!isBlank(sInactive))
                date_inactive = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(sInactive);
                if (dt_valueDate.compareTo(date_inactive) < 0 && dt_valueDate.compareTo(date_active) >= 0)
                    return true;
            }else
                if (dt_valueDate.compareTo(date_active) >= 0)
                    return true;
