have a text field, named "datedtext", which accepts date from user.

The property associated with date is of Date datatype in my entity class. What i want is that when the user enters the date and press enter, it should check whether it complies to format given.

Here is what i tried



How can i check whether it is in a given format? If it complies, parse() method will convert it into Date object.
All suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks

scroll down the topics on the first page for
'leave maskformatter null' (or similar)

you'll find an example there
