validation - Date with SimpleDateFormat in Java -

validation - Date with SimpleDateFormat in Java -

the next code attempts parse date 31-feb-2013 13:02:23 given format.

dateformat dateformat=new simpledateformat("dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss"); system.out.println(dateformat.parse("31-feb-2013 13:02:23"));

it returns sun mar 03 13:02:23 ist 2013.

i need invalidate such dates indicating invalid date. (and forth) date shouldn't parsed (or should invalidated in other way). possible?

use dateformat.setlenient(boolean) method false argument:

dateformat dateformat=new simpledateformat("dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss"); dateformat.setlenient(false); system.out.println(dateformat.parse("31-feb-2013 13:02:23"));
