Java.text.ParseException: Opaque date: convert string mm / dd / yyyy to date

when I convert a string object format mm/dd/yyyy

in Date

, it gives me

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "09/17/2014"

I am trying to do it like this:

String date= "09/17/2014";
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat();
Date journeyDate= (java.sql.Date) df.parse(date);

There are several potential problems here:

  • You don't specify the format
  • You do not specify the locale
  • You do not specify a time zone
  • You are trying to cast the return value (which will be a reference java.util.Date

    ) to java.sql.Date

    - this will throw an error


You need something like:

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy", Locale.US);
df.setTimeZone(...); // Whatever time zone you want to use
Date journeyDate = new java.sql.Date(df.parse(text).getTime());

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy",Locale.ENGLISH);
Date journeyDate = df.parse(date); // gives you java.util.Date

If you want java.sql.Date then



java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(journeyDate.getTime());
+1

I have the following exception:

java.text.ParseException: Continuous date

System.out.println("inside the XMLGregorianCalendar");

sb = (String) map.get(fieldname);
System.out.println("THis is XMLGReogoriaaaaan calendar"+ sb);
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd", Locale.US);
Date journeyDate = new java.sql.Date(df.parse(sb).getTime());
System.out.println("this"+journeyDate);

You mixed m

and m

.

m

indicates minutes and m

within a month.

Below is an example of a working format.

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
String dateInString = "07/06/2013"; 
Date date = formatter.parse(dateInString);
System.out.println(formatter.format(date));
