> I cannot see why this is failing but here is my code:
>    Date parseDate(String dateStr) {
>        Date d = null;
>        if (dateStr != null && ! "".equals(dateStr)) {
>            try {
>                // try to parse the date from ISO8601, general
> formats, and RFC-2822
>                d = DateUtils.parseDate(dateStr, new String[] {
> DateFormatUtils.ISO_DATETIME_TIME_ZONE_FORMAT.getPattern()
>                        });
>            } catch (ParseException e) {
>                // nothing to do
>                log.info("Failed to parse: " + dateStr + ":" + e, e);
>                d = null;
>            }
>        }
>        return d;
>    }
> The string I am sending in to that method was generated like this:
> String isoDateStr = DateFormatUtils.ISO_DATETIME_TIME_ZONE_FORMAT.format(date);
> The exception is:

> Issue seems to be that DateFormatUtils.ISO_DATETIME objects are
> FastDateFormat objects; whereas parseDate uses SimpleDateFormat. The
> former supports "ZZ" whereas the latter does not.
> Java 1.4 (not sure about later) had 'Z' which meant +0100.
> FastDateFormat adds 'ZZ' to support the ISO standard of +01:00. ie)
> presumably your actual value is +0100+0100.
> Solution is probably to have parseDate use FastDateFormat, though
> there will always be the issue that getPattern from FastDateFormat may
> not work with SimpleDateFormat.
