Unparseable Date (XML)

Question

Hi!
I4ve got an XMLDocument with a date field.
F.ex:

Answer 1

Thanks both for your answers, but I still keep the same.
I'll try to explain it better.
First of all, I've got an HTML form where I collect the data, like this:
Cod*:
Name*:
Borndate:
*compulsory fields
After, a Java servlet obtains the field values and build an XMLDocument, like this:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<COD>1</COD>
<NAME>Carmen</NAME>
<BORNDATE></BORNDATE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
In the same servlet,I use the OracleXMLSave class and the XMLDocument, like follows:
OracleXMLSave sav = new OracleXMLSave(conn, "PERSON");
sav.setDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");
String [] keyColNames = new String[1];
keyColNames[0] = "COD";
sav.setKeyColumnList(keyColNames);
System.out.println("Before");
int rowCount = sav.updateXML(PreviousDocument);
// or: int rowCount = sav.updateXML(PreviousDocument); It4s the same
System.out.println("After");
I execute this code and the output again and again is:
Before
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: ""
If I write any value in the date field, there4s no problem and the insertion or update is right.
More data: I4m using Oracle8i Database and I used XDK 8.0.1 but I4ve tried XDK 9.0.1 and it4s the same.
About the suggestion of deleting the date tag from the document, it4s OK. But, what happens if I had a value for the date in the database and now I want to delete it? In SQL you can set a field value to NULL, but how can I do it with XSU.
Please, help me!!!
Thanks in advance.
