JServConnection.getDateHeader()
Date: Fri, 5 Feb 1999 17:42:54 +0100 (MET)
I also experience this problem on a Sparc Solaris 2.6 with bundled
Java 1.1.6 (so no Blackdown Linux Java problem), at line 1223 of
JServConnection.java, 1.0b2, so parsing the "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss
zzz" format fails. This is probably a problem in Sun's code. A
sample date string is here:
Fri, 05 Feb 1999 16:27:34 GMT
I've tried to reproduce the problem with a small sample class like this:
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class TryDate {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
getDateHeader("Fri, 05 Feb 1999 14:11:33 GMT");
}
static public long getDateHeader(String val) {
SimpleDateFormat sdf;
if ( val == null ) {
return -1;
}
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz");
try {
Date date = sdf.parse(val);
return date.getTime();
} catch(ParseException formatNotValid) {
// try another format
}
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEEEE, dd-MMM-yy HH:mm:ss zzz");
try {
Date date = sdf.parse(val);
return date.getTime();
} catch(ParseException formatNotValid) {
// Try another format
}
sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMMM d HH:mm:ss yyyy");
try {
Date date = sdf.parse(val);
return date.getTime();
} catch(ParseException formatStillNotValid) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(val);
}
}
}
But suprisingly, it does _not_ reproduce the problem!
Any ideas?
Regards,
Jochen
