Invalid Date Is Accepted by JHS / ADF

Question

Just found out that when you enter an invalid date, for example : 32-25-2007, the date is accepted and no exception is thrown. While debugging I found out that the ParseException that gets thrown in the parse method of the JhsDateFormatter is lost in the ADF framework somewhere.
This feature appears when using Jdev 10.1.2.1 / Jhs 10.1.2.1 (build 27) : View=JSP ; Model=ADF BC.
I solved it by using the following workaround :
- created : MyJhsDateFormatter extends JhsDateFormatter
- override method : parse(String formatString, String parseThisString)
    public Object parse(String formatString, String parseThisString)
        throws ParseException
        final String method = "Object parse(String formatString, String parseThisString)";
        _log.debug(method);
        Object obj = null;
        try
            obj = super.parse(formatString, parseThisString);
        catch (ParseException pe)
            // message :  JHS-00114: Date 32-12-2005 must be of format dd-MM-yyyy
            throw new JhsJboException("JHS-00114",
                new String[]
                    parseThisString,
                    ((formatString != null) ? formatString
                                            : getDefaultFormatString())
        return obj;
    }- changed the custom property JHS_FORMATTER for ViewObject attributes
- run application and ... feature is gone ; )

Answer 1

Paskal,
Thanks for the fix. Unfortunatelym just too late for inclusion in 10.1.2.2.
We will publish shortly a small runtime patch for this bug.
