DateFormat parse problem

Hello all,
I'm trying to parse a simple date, using java version 1.4.12, but for some reason an exception is thrown. Here is the code:
DateFormat format = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM, DateFormat.SHORT);
Date date = format.parse("Nov 4, 2003 8:14 PM");
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I always use SimpleDateFormat. One thing might be that the parsing pattern returned for your default locale doesn't match your input String.

DateFormat parsing problem

Hi,
A little limitation I have discovered in DateFormat.
I'm using SimpleDateFormat, and I supply the format "HH:mm"
I expect the DateFormat parsing to fail when calling parse() for Strings such as "12:13:13", since in the format there is no seconds-resolution.
Instead, the parsing runs without exception and returns the time 12:13:00 (The seconds are truncated).
Is thyere a way to make the DateFormat to fail and throw an exception in such a scenario?
Thanks,
Miki

I doubt it. Also, if you enter an invalid date such as Dec 34 2004, it may (or may not) return an invalid date such as something like Aug 23 1834 rather than throw an exception. I think its best to pass the string to a validate format class that you custom write to check the format (such as xx:xx:xx), and also a validate date class (after passing the validate format) that you custom write to see if its a valid date (such as Dec 34, or if Feb 29, 2003 really is a leap year).
Actually, I dont even use the classes such as DateFormat class directly in my code. Instead, I have a custom class with a host of static functions (containing DateFormat) to do all kinds of date/timestamp/string convertions to deal with dates. My code uses that class instead.

DateFormat.parse() reads 12:00:00 as 00:00:00?

Hi, i have a method, which uses DateFormat.parse() function, and i want to check whether a date and time input is valid. as you can see from the following code; i have defined the format as (dd-mm-yyyy at hh:mm:ss). the problem is, if i pass a string as (dd-mm-yyyy at 12:21:23), the method changes hour field to '00'. i.e., the line denoted as LINE N in the code prints out 'dd-mm-yyyy at 00:21:23'. i have tested other hours and they are all fine, 00 is interpreted as 00, 24 is 00 which is fine, but 12 is also parsed to 00.... any way to change this please?
Many thanks!
public boolean isValidDate(String dt)
        boolean isValid=false;
        DateFormat datef=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy 'at' hh:mm:ss",Locale.UK);
        java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date();
        try{
            d=datef.parse(dt);
            ////////////////////// LINE N //////////////////////////////////////////
            System.out.println("is this right"+d.toString());
            ///////////////////// LINE N //////////////////////////////////////////
            int hr = d.getHours();
            System.out.println("This is the hour "+hr);
            if(hr<=18&&hr>=9)
                isValid=true;
                System.out.println("hour ok");
            else{System.out.println("hour not ok");}
        catch(ParseException pe)
            isValid=false;
        return isValid;
    }

use gregoriancalendar instead

@OP. You should never call getHours() on a date object, you should always use a Calendar.

Is is possible to allow multiple date format strings pass DateFormat.parse?

I'm trying to use DateFormat.parse to validate a date in the 20/12/08 format. I would like to allow users to input 20-12-08 or 20 12 08.
The code currently looks like this:
formatter = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SMALL, US);It is currently throwing an exception if 10-12-08 is sent in where as 10/12/08 works just fine.
Is there a alternate us locale that is more lenient?
setLenient(true) didn't solve the problem for me. I think that would accept 32/12/08 not 10-12-08.
I could parse the date string and replace - or ' ' with a /.. Is that best practice?
What other options do I have? Could I use SimpleDateFormat somehow?
Thanks for the input

That just doesn't seem clean. It will work, but I would rather not have a valid application flow use an exception to get its job done.
The application is also international, so many locales on one format is valid. The US user base seems to think they can type in the date however they want. So passed into the method is the locale, I would have to modify a lot of code to send in a list of valid locales.
The best solution for me would be to have a locale that would allow - or ' ' or /. That way I still only have to make one call to df.parse and an exception produces an invalid date message. Is that possible?
Thanks

WIJ 20002 xml Parser Problem - Rich Client

Report query parsing problem

I didn't find any report of this problem...
Using APEX 3.0.1.00.07, I have a report of type "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)" with the "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" radio button selected.
When the region source contains the string "ORDER BY" in any form that I've tried (even in a comment), attempting to save the region fails with "Your query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting enabled."
I do indeed have column sorting enabled on certain columns, but I don't see how that is relevant under these circumstances since the query produced at runtime does not have an ORDER BY clause.
Am I overlooking something or is this a parsing problem?
Rodney

Rodney,
It's just checking for order by being included in your query, and if so and you have column heading sorting enabled, it's raising this error because you can't have both (even if it's commented out).

SAX parser problem in JDK1.5

I have parse the xml file using SAX in jdk1.5 environment. During the parsing, it missed the some text content.
for example
<employeeid>
<empid>1001</empid>
<empid>1002</empid>
</employeeid>
If i have parse the above xml file using SAX in jdk1.5 environment. The output is
1001
100
during the parsing , SAX parser misses digit of 2.
if i have parse the above xml file using SAX in jdk1.4 environment , it is working fine.
what is the problem in jdk1.5
please help
bala

What I expect the problem to be was discussed recently in a topic titled "SAX Parser Problems" that was started on March 14 at 6:59 AM by JackoBS.
Read that and see if it fixes your problem. If so, it is not a JDK1.5 problem, but a user error.

DateFormat.parse

Hi all,
I am trying to parse some Strings into date objects, but i'm getting some strange output.
The dates (Strings) that go into my program are:
2005/3/08 09:12:38
2005/3/10 17:29:57
2005/3/11 15:39:59
2005/3/23 13:30:03
2005/3/23 13:32:49
my code should take these strings, parse them into dates, add them to a List and sort the list. But the output i get is:
Mon Aug 26 09:12:00 BST 2013
Wed Aug 26 17:29:00 BST 2015
Thu Aug 25 15:39:00 BST 2016
Fri Aug 25 13:30:00 BST 2028
Fri Aug 25 13:32:00 BST 2028
as u can see - these are not the strings i entered originally. the code i am using is:
public java.util.Date dateConverter(String dateString) throws Exception
{     int intMonth = 99;
     String [] months = {"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"};
          String month = dateString.substring(4,7);
     for (int i = 0 ; i < 12 ; i++)
     {     if (months[i].equals(month))
          {     intMonth = i+1;
     dateString = dateString.substring(24,28) + "/" + intMonth + "/" + dateString.substring(8,10) + " " + dateString.substring(10,20);
     java.util.Date newDate = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
     return newDate;
can anyone tell me whats missing from my code, and how i can get the correct output.
thanks

What happens if you do this? dateString = dateString.substring(24,28) + "/" + intMonth + "/" + dateString.substring(8,10) + " " + dateString.substring(10,20);
java.util.Date newDate =dateFormat.parse(dateString);
System.out.println("Parsing string " + dateString + " into date " + newDate);

DateFormat parse validation

This didn't seem to show up first time so I'll try again.
The docs and tutorials indicate that DateFormat.parse should thorw an error if an invalid date is provided. However, the following throws no error:
SimpleDateFormat formatter_mmddyy = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/yy");
Date theDate = formatter_mmddyy.parse("13/22/05");
What is the correct way to validate dates?
-- Frank

Depending on how strict you want your validation to be you can either:
a) leave it as is and let it adjust as it sees fit (rolling forward if you try something like you just did)
b) Call setLenient(false) to make it not do that, but allow extraneous cahracters at the end (so Strings like "12/22/05yasureyoubetcha" still come out valid)
c) use the version of parse that takes a ParsePosition and manually verify that the passed in ParsePosition does not indicate an error and shows that the whole String was consumed during parsing.
That's my take on it anyway
Good Luck

Parsing Problems? ImageIcon and BufferedImage

Hi to everyone
Could I ask if I will to send ImageIcon with BufferedImage as its arguement. Then what should I receieve from the server? ImageIcon only or ImageIcon with BufferedImage as its arugement?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

I am sending ImageIcon over to the server, hence the server will receive as ImageIcon.
However, when I want to pass the ImageIcon which being parse to Image, this step is ok. Lastly when I want to parse the Image to BufferedImage image, I am encountering parsing problems, hence could u advise me further.
The error message "Receiving failed: java.lang.ClassCastException"
Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.
     public void getImage()

Date Parse Problem

I am looking to parse a string to a date object. I appreciate if someone can provide me a hint on this.
Below is the code:
String dateInStr = "Mon Mar 03 00:00:00 PST 2008";
try{
   DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
   Date dateObj = dateFormat.parse(dateInStr);
}catch (java.text.ParseException pEx) {
   pEx.printStackTrace();
}When I execute the above code, it gives me the following exception:
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Mon Mar 03 00:00:00 PST 2008"

Hmmm... I've got this to work using SimpleDateFormat instead of DateFormat.
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");
Date dateObj = dateFormat.parse(dateInStr);
It's still a good idea to use the DateFormat interface, even if this is "correct".
I'd also recommend setting lenient to false. That way "31-Feb-2008" will throw an exception.
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");
dateFormat.setLenient(false);
Date dateObj = dateFormat.parse(dateInStr);The reason your original code didn't work is the default instance doesn't assume the parse string that you're using.

Problem with DateFormat.parse

hi,
I'm working using Java 1.5.
i'm using SimpleDateFormat to parse date strings. My program has the following piece of code:
Class DateConverter {
SimpleDateFormat m_sdate = null ;
public DateConverter() {
this.m_sdate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd") ;
public Date to_date(String dstr) {
return this.m_sdate.parse(dstr) ;
The date parsing works fine as long as I give dates upto "00010101" but throws java.text.ParseException for the value "00001231". I was just eager to know whether 00010101 is the least date that can be parsed???
Thanks,
Venkatesh

I don't get a ParseException with your code; if there is an earliest date that can be parsed it's not 1/1/1.fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.y G").format(fmt.parse("0/12/31"));
output: <31.12.01 BC>

XML parsing problem

Hi, my problem is :
In my Application i want to parse an XML file with DOM parser. The problem is that in my Project "MyProject -> Project Properties -> Libraries and Classpath"
I have included some 15 libraries which are useful for my Application: ADF Faces Runtime 11, ADF Web Runtime and etc.
Problems are causing the libraries: BC4J Runtime,ADF Model Runtime, MDS Runtime Dependencies
because when added my source which is parsing an XML file stops working.The source code is:
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
File file =
new File("C:\\Documents and Settings\\ilia\\Desktop\\begin.xml");
Document doc = db.parse(file);
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList dots = root.getElementsByTagName("w:t");
Element firstDot = (Element)dots.item(0);
String textValue = firstDot.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
I use DOM because i need to change some values in the XML file, but its not working neither for reading nor for writing.When debugging I see that it gets the root of the xml but " firstDot.getFirstChild().getNodeValue() " returns null and it breaks with NullPointerException. And that's only when the libraries mentioned above are added to the project. Without them it works just fine !
I don't know, it's like when added the parser validates my xml against some schema and returns null.
The xml file is very simple MS Word Document saved as .xml .But I don't think that's the problem.
Thanks in advance !
iliya

Hi all,
I found the solution to my problem.The right way to parse and change an XML file with DOM parser using the Oracle XML Parser v2 should look like this:
JXDocumentBuilderFactory factory =
(JXDocumentBuilderFactory)JXDocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
JXDocumentBuilder documentBuilder =
(JXDocumentBuilder)factory.newDocumentBuilder();
File file = new File("c:/Documents and Settings/ilia/Desktop/begin.xml");
InputStream input =
new FileInputStream(file);
XMLDocument xmlDocument = (XMLDocument)(documentBuilder.parse(input));
System.out.println("Encoding: " + xmlDocument.getEncoding());
System.out.println("Version: " + xmlDocument.getVersion());
NodeList namespaceNodeList =
xmlDocument.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml","t");
XMLElement namespaceElement17 = (XMLElement)namespaceNodeList.item(17);
namespaceElement17.getFirstChild().setNodeValue("someString");

when the above xml file is read and populated into ITAB, for element vendorname-2 which has a space in first position , that space is ignored.
This is being used for a FB01 posting and vendor is paid based on Name1+Name2 printed on cheque and due to the space ignoring problem, the vendor name is displayed wrongly thus causing problems.
I appreciate if someone could guide me thru and help me in solving this problem.
How to preserve the leading or trailing space.
g_selementvalue = g_childnode->get_value( ).
when i check g_selementvalue, space is ignored.
i will be greateful if someone could guide me through.
Regards,
Simha

This is from debugging, what does the point "0.09: ...Session State: Saved Item "P330_SHUTTLE" New Value="" "
mean ? I think it means, that the Shuttle somehow sets itself to null ?! but i dont understand why...
There is no computation or anything that deletes the shuttle, the page is quite small, there is not much more than the shuttle and the validations and computations to give default value and transforming the shuttle items into a collection to continue working with the IDs.
I dont check whats the problem

XML Parser Problem

am using XML parser for PL/SQL in Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.1.1
When i run the sample xml program, i get error which is as follows. While compiling no errors. But while executing it reports error as given below.
SQL> execute domsample('c:\xml', 'family.xml', 'errors.txt');
begin domsample('c:\xml', 'family.xml', 'errors.txt'); end;
ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: No such file or directory
ORA-06512: at "COMMODITYBACKCONNECT.XMLPARSER", line 22
ORA-06512: at "COMMODITYBACKCONNECT.XMLPARSER", line 79
ORA-06512: at "COMMODITYBACKCONNECT.DOMSAMPLE", line 80
ORA-06512: at line 1
What need to be done to rectify the above problem.
when i do the following validation check
SQL>
SQL> select substr(dbms_java.longname(object_name),1,30) as class, status
2 from all_objects
3 where object_type = 'JAVA CLASS'
4 and object_name = dbms_java.shortname('oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser')
5 ;
CLASS STATUS
oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser VALID
oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser VALID
Please advice to how remove the following error:
ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: No such file or directory

Found the solution on metalink. There is a file under /$ORACLE_HOME/javavm/install/init_security.sql
which needs to be run under username where you are installing xml parser.
This step is not in readme.txt file provided as a part of download from the OTN website.
