SimpleDateFormat.parse() causes Unparsable date exception

I am using SimpleDateFormat to both format and parse date strings. The format is working properly, but parse results in the following exception:
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2007-08-31T12:05:05.651-0700"
at java.text.DateFormat.parse(Unknown Source)
Here is my code:
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'kk:mm:ss.SZ");
String dateTime = dateFormatter.format(new Date());
Date test = dateFormatter.parse(dateTime);
For testing purposes, I am formatting a date string, and then passing it right back into parse() and I get the exception.
I am using jre1.5.0_10.
Thank you for your help.

You have specified the milliseconds (S) to have a minimum of 1 letter.
From the API:
Number: For formatting, the number of pattern letters is the minimum number of digits, and shorter numbers are zero-padded to this amount. For parsing, the number of pattern letters is ignored unless it's needed to separate two adjacent fields.
If you specify it like this:SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'kk:mm:ss.SSSZ");
// or like this
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'kk:mm:ss.S Z");it will work.

Parsing Date with SimpleDateFormat

Hi,
In my application, i want to parse date which is in String format.
The format of Date in String is "yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss.SSS'Z'" (ex:- 20031201T100116.000Z).
//Happy Case - Input Param "20031201T100116.000Z"
//Output : 2003-12-01 10:01:16.0 is the expected output ------- works well.
//Exception case Input param Value "00000000T000000.000Z"
But the above case breaks as the expected output is "0000-00-00 00:00:00 ". But the output what i get is
"0002-11-30 00:00:00.0"
Greatly appreciate your inputs...,
Here is my code for the above stated case....
private static void printDateFormat(String str) throws Exception
String format = "yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss.SSS'Z'"; //Desired Format
ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
Date date = sdf.parse(str, pos);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);
System.out.println("[After Formatting]" + date.toString());
java.sql.Timestamp ts = new java.sql.Timestamp(cal.getTime().getTime());
System.out.println(ts.toString());
Thanks !

SimpleDateFormat is set to lenient date parsing by default, so it's trying it's best to come up with an actual date for 0000-00-00 (what would you say a 'zero' month should be?). You can prevent this "approximation" by using "setLenient(false)", but then you will get a null Date reference for non-parseable dates like the one you're using.
The bottom line is that you're going to have to do some validation for the user input and handle exceptional conditions.
Hope this helps! :o)

SimpleDateFormat: Parse String To Date

Hi
I'm trying to parse Date-String to Date. But the Date-String I want to parse is embedded in a Text like:
Bla bla bla bla bla bla 2004-05-05 bla bla bla bla bla.
So I tried the attached Class to solve the problem, but it didn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks Bona
public class Test {
private static SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat();
private String text;
private Date date;
public Test() {
/ry {
text = "Bla bla bla bla bla bla 2004-05-05 bla bla bla bla bla.";
date = toDate(text, "yyyy-MM-dd");
System.out.println("Datum: "+date);
} catch (ParseException pe) {
System.out.println(pe.getMessage());
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test test1 = new Test();
public static Date toDate(String dateString, String dateFormatPattern)
throws ParseException {
Date date = null;
dateFormat.applyPattern(dateFormatPattern);
dateFormat.setLenient(true);
date = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
return date;
}

Well, you need to extract the date pattern from that String.
You can use regular expressions to do that. See theRegex package for info on how to do that.
BTW - AFAIK, lenient date parsing means, that the parser accepts stuff that matches the pattern, but contains illegal values like "2004-02-30" ...

Strange problem with SimpleDateFormat.parse method

I got something strange with this method.
String pattern = "yyyy/MM/dd";
String mydate = "2007/00/10";
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
Date newdate = formatter.parse(mydate);
I get "2006/12/10"
is this correct.

Strange result of SimpleDateFormat.parse()

Hi,
I'm having trouble with the parse data function as it does not return the correct hour.
Here is what I'm doing:
Date nullDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ").parse("1900-01-01T00:00:00-0000");I would now expect nullDate to be Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 CET 1900
But instead, it is Mon Jan 01 00:09:21 CET 1900
Personally I cannot think of a reason why the time is not 0.
Any ideas?

I don't see the problem you see. What version of Java on what OS and in what time zone?
P.S. I would certainly set the time zone for the parser i.e.
       SimpleDateFormat parser = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
        parser.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
        Date nullDate = parser.parse("1900-01-01T00:00:00-0000");
        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z");
        System.out.println(formatter.format(nullDate));On my Ubuntu 10.04 using JDK 1.6.0_20 in London (currently GMT) time zone I get
1900-01-01 00:00:00 GMT

Parsing date from JSON response

Is there any helper method to parse date time value being returned in JSONResponse to get java.util.Date. For example, 2012-06-26T15:51:59.078-05:00. I have done simple java method using SimpleDateFormat, but that does not handle all possible formats. Anyone has ideas on libraries that can be used for this purpose?
Chandresh

Oh I see you receive different formats from different services, who's backend you can not modify.
I found this, it should help you get the job done:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4024544/how-to-parse-dates-in-multiple-formats-using-simpledateformat
Note however, that his problem is only relatively simplistic, yours on the other hand seems to be one of a kind where you have to be set up a pretty nifty algorithm taking care of all the different possible formats. That being said, there is no method which can parse ANY format you throw at it. you must write one yourself which knows which possible formats to expect.
If its only those two formats you can expect:
2012-06-26T15:51:59.078-05:00
2012-06-26T15:51:59-05:00
it should be an easy try-catch construct within a helper method. just be sure to use the right letters when setting up your SimpleDateFormat parse object, it's case sensitive and one quickly gets lost in all those letters.
Edit:
Again this should do the trick:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSz");
Just make sure you remove the last ":" from the JSONString (simple string manipulation) and then have two cases
//removing last ":" from JSONString
//====
//Parsing string to date or gregCalendar
GregorianCalendar time= new GregorianCalendar();
try{
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSz");
time.setTime(sdf.parse(JSONString));
catch{
SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssz");
time.setTime(sdf2.parse(JSONString));

SimpleDateFormat parsing problem

Hi All,
I am creating a date "12142007 14:30" by parsing this string with the SimpleDateFormat object. However, when I convert it back to string and ask it to spit it out it gives me a completely different date of "Sun Jun 14 14:00:00 CDT 2009".
Am I missing something here ? Not sure if i have to put something in the parse position. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

To basharf,
Please do NOT use that example at least not this part of it.
String dateTime = "7/10/1996 4:50:00 PM";
Date date = new Date(dateTime);The Date constructor that takes a String is deprecated. It was deprecated sometime in the previous century. Why anybody ever thought that was a good idea is beyond me. But that's a rant for another day. As I think you realize, SimpleDateFormat.parse is a better way to create a Date from a formatted String.

SimpleDateFormat parsing difficulty

Hello all,
Recently, I had to parse Strings into Dates using SimpleDateFormat. The difficulty I had was because the Strings had timezone offsets. The code below shows the 3 tests it took to create a Date object of specified TimeZone.
Test 1
Fails because I don't set the TimeZone for SimpleDateFormat.
Test 2
Works for the first String because the TimeZone matches the timezone in the String.
Test 3
Works for all Strings, but is cumbersome because I have to parse the end of the String myself.
My question is this: Shouldn't SimpleDateFormat parse a String directly into a Date without having you to specify the TimeZone of that Date? This problem was very annoying to solve and goes against logic (at least mine!).
I'm interested in any thoughts on this matter. Am I being unreasonable, or is this poorly explained in the API?

Date objects don't have time zones.
This is true, my problem was that I needed to parse both the Date and the TimeZone from a String. I got misled by the SimpleDateFormat documentation (the symbol Z), and somehow got the impression that a Date should have an associated TimeZone!
In hindsight, it is clear that Z should be used for Date strings containing a timezone and that SimpleDateFormat uses the timezone to modify the Date so that it's correct for the timezone of the current machine. If that makes sense!

How do i parse data from the second jframe back to the first?

Hello.
I have a jFrame were I promt users to keep a list of Names in a jTable. (I keep data for something else, but lets say names.. ) Anyway, afterwords I want to add some extra parameters for each name. So I created a new frame, which is opened when user press an Edit button. The new frame opens and users can add for the specific name some extra data, like age, height, color, sex.. etc. that characterizes this person.
On this second form i have a save button, which when its pressed i would like to keep this information for this name, so as when user press edit again from the first frame on the same Name the data that previously entered will be loaded (lets say that the user can not enter the say name again)
I haven' t figured the code for the save Button, but with the rest I am fine.
Can you give any ideas with structures that I have to use and how the action listener will have to be??
When I set visible the new form i have made a constructor that loads the new form which have a label with the name of the person that is edited., but how do i parse data from the second form back to the first that is already opened??
Thanks very much..

How do I create individual xml files from the parsed data output of a xml file?

I have written a program (DOM Parser) that parses data from a XMl File. I would like to create an individual file with the corresponding name for each set of data parsed from the xml document. If the parsed output is Single, Double, Triple, I would like to create an individual xml file (Single.xml, Double.xml, Triple.xml)with those corresponding names. How do I create the xml files and give each file the name of my parsed data output? Thanks in advance for your help.

Implementing Database codes FAIL /error in parsing data into jsp page

Hi there,
I have this problem trying to build a portal application. I am using the JSPDynPage, jsp page and a bean to build a page.
I have this problem parsing data from JSPDynPage to the beans and to the jsp page.
I tested out the connection between the beans and the jsp page. There is no error parsing information from the beans to the jsp page.
So i tried to test out the codes for the database from the beans.
Will this work? Because it does not display the results i want.
I need an Solution asap to find out wad is wrong also also the correct codes to the database.
public String db(){
try {
             InitialContext iC = new InitialContext();
             DataSource dataSource = (DataSource)iC.lookup("java:env/jdbc/mySQL");
             java.sql.Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();
             PreparedStatement st = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT name FROM test WHERE id='123'");
             ResultSet resultSet = st.executeQuery();
             while (resultSet.next()){
                  name = resultSet.getString("name");
                  name = name.toString();
             connection.close();
             return name;
             } catch(Exception n){
                  e = "Exception";
                  return e;
This is the method i put in the beans to test out the database connection.
