Validation problem with the selected Month-Year and Days in the Month.

Question

Hi,
I am unable to figure out the logic for the below senario.
There are two fields Period and Date
If Users sets the Period to FEB-11
and User has to select the Dates of the February Month only and if he selects any other month It should throw an error.
How could I restrict the user to not enter any other date from the selected period.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi Gyan,
Thanks for the update.
I am just tring to copare the values
able to get the period value and unable to compare to the date format.
just look at the below code with the output of sop
        OAMessageTextInputBean mtb =
        (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("item1");
            OAMessageDateFieldBean mtb1 =
            (OAMessageDateFieldBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("item2");
        String period = (String)mtb.getValue(pageContext);
        System.out.println("Value of Period:::"+period);   // FEB-11 is the out put
           Date date = (Date)mtb1.getValue(pageContext);
            System.out.println("Value of Period:::"+date); // 2011-02-09 is the output
// Converting the date to string using SimpleDateFormat
            DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
            String date1 = df.format(date);
            System.out.println("String Date::"+date1);
            String date2 = date1.substring(3,5);
            System.out.println("SubString::"+date2);
       // 02 is the out put I am not able to Format the month in SimpleDateFormat("dd-MON-yyyy") to get the
      //  month as FEB is there any converter.
            String date3 = date1.substring(8,10);
            System.out.println("SubString2::"+date3);
     //11 is the out put
        if (period.equalsIgnoreCase(date2.concat(date3)) )
  // after concatinating the format is 02-11 so its going to exception
            System.out.println("Date in the same Period");
        else {
            throw new OAException ("Date Selected is out of range::");
        }I am not able to Format the month in SimpleDateFormat("dd-MON-yyyy") to get the month as FEB is there any converter.
The logic is working fine but the month is not getting converted.
Thanks,
Krishna
