19. validating a date using simpleDateFormat    forums.oracle.com

If you read the doc for matches, you'll find that it takes a String which is interpreted regex, not a SimpleDateFormat. If you study up on regex, you'll find that 'y', 'm', and 'd' are just characters and have no date-centric meaning. In fact you'll find that regex doesn't deal with Dates at all. So why not use SimpleDateFormat, which you ...

20. java.util.Date and SimpleDateFormat    forums.oracle.com

There might be a bug in this theory, according to a lot of people (including some enlighted ones like the Pope) 00/00/0000, should be 25/12/0001 b.C. (or the 24th, maybe, but never the 31st).

21. SimpleDateFormat parses wrong date successfully (lenient = false). Why?    forums.oracle.com

Read the comments in the API: [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html#parse(java.lang.String)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html#parse(java.lang.String)] You could try the other overload of parse, if you want to test whether the whole String was used: [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html#parse(java.lang.String, java.text.ParsePosition)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html#parse(java.lang.String,%20java.text.ParsePosition)] (Sorry--the second link doesn't go to the right place. There is a version of "parse" with two parameters, which you can use to determine if the whole String was used.)

22. SimpleDateFormat, exclude wrong dates    forums.oracle.com

Is there a way to exclude incorrect dates with a SimpleDateFormat? I mean, say for instance that you want to enter 31st of June, 2009. That should produce an error, because that date is not possible.
