Date in past - validation

Question

Hi ,
In my webdynpro  application, I have a date feild and I need that after user select a date and  then submit the form - on submit an method is implemented which checks that the date is either the current date or any date from past user should not select future  date ansd in case the date is any future date it shows error message .
For this, I created a message of type error in message pool as  - DateInFuture.
then I created a method as - CheckDateInPast()
In  implementation of method  -
IWDMessageManager msgMgr =     this.wdThis.wdGetAPI() .getComponent().getMessageManager();
Date theDate =(Date) this.wdContext.currentContextElement().
               getAttributeValue(Date);
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo =
     this.wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(Date);
if (theDate.after(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()))) {
     String fieldLabel =               this.wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(Date)
                         .getSimpleType().getFieldLabel();
               msgMgr.reportContextAttributeMessage(
                    this.wdContext.currentContextElement(),
                    attributeInfo,
                    IMessageSimpleErrors.Date_In_Future,
                    new Object[] {Date, theDate},
                    true);
The imports - used are
import java.sql.Date;
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDAttributeInfo;
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api. IWDMessageManager ;
The Error I am geting is - IMessageSimpleErrors cannot be resolved..
Please can any one tell what is the problem ???
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks pinki , that error is no more now by using IMessage<Comp name>.<messagename>,...
But can you please tell me while calling this method in the action .
In the implementation of onactionSubmit (...) -
this.CheckDateInPast( string Date);
What should be the Parameter in  " String Date "
and One more problem when user click clear all button that has to clear all the feilds -
In this -
//wdContext.currentContextElement().setDate(new Date(0));
//wdContext.currentContextElement().setTime(new Time(0));
But this lines does not clear the date and time but set it to 1/1/1970 and time to 5:30:00 A.M.
Please let me know how this can be solved????
Thanks,
Gunja
