Unknown weird error

[Kunthar <ku...@gmx.net>]

Hi all,

I am really stuck on this;

jsp page headers
<%@ page language="java" import="java.io.*, java.util.*, java.sql.*, java.text.*" %>
<%@ page errorPage="errorPg.jsp" %>
<%@ page buffer="32kb" %>
<jsp:include page="header.jsp" flush="false" />


My code;

String somedate;

somedate  = request.getParameter("somedate"); 

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new
      SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
 SimpleDateFormat formatter2 = new
      SimpleDateFormat("MM.dd.yyyy");
      ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
 java.util.Date somedate2 = 
  formatter.parse(somedate, pos);
 somedate = formatter2.format(somedate2);      

And error is;

usr/local/tomcat5/work/Catalina/localhost/kaplan/org/apache/jsp/cekgiris_jsp.java:389: 
pos is already defined in _jspService(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest,javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)
java.text.ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
                                ^


I tried directly refer to java.text and java.util and i've changed pos to something but no chance...

I know this is not a place to ask but in here time is around 2:30 AM on the morning and i am really getting crazy with this holly error.
Or do you know any good date conversion trick for databases or particularly for Postgresql?

Thank you to all

Gokhan
