Constructor has been deprecated

Question

Hi ,
I'm getting the following warning...because of this piece of code
Date dtExpiryDate = new Date(strExpiryDate);
Warning(149,33): constructor Date(java.lang.String) in class java.util.Date has been deprecated
Can some one help me how to resolve this issue..
Thanks,

i had this peice of code for dates conversion somewhere...i dont know your requirement .. so here is my sample code ...try it and see if it fits yours
CO-
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import oracle.jbo.domain.Date;
import oracle.jbo.domain.Number;
in processformrequest()
if ( pageContext.getParameter("checkdate") != null)
Date str_date = castToJBODate(pageContext.getParameter("startdate"));
System.out.println("start date = " + str_date);
Date end_date = castToJBODate(pageContext.getParameter("enddate"));
System.out.println("end date = " + end_date);
if(str_date.dateValue().after(end_date.dateValue()) )
System.out.println("start date less than end date ");
String msg ="start date cant be greater than end date ";
throw new OAException(msg, OAException.ERROR);
public oracle.jbo.domain.Date castToJBODate(String aDate)
DateFormat formatter;
java.util.Date date;
if(aDate!=null)
try {
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
date = formatter.parse(aDate);
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());
oracle.jbo.domain.Date jboDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate);
return jboDate;
catch (ParseException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
