Solution for Unparsable Date Exception

[Steve Dyke]

the parameter I am sending is a string 09/01/2009. The following code returns an Unparsable Date "09/01/2009". Please help resolve this.

try{
   this.cD = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM-yy").parse(myDate);
				
}
   catch(ParseException pe){
   System.out.println(pe);
};

new SimpleDateFormat("MMM-yy").parse(myDate)

Your date parser is configured to take a date of the format "MMM-yy" or the month, followed by a dash, followed by two digits that represents the year. This is complete different, in term of format, to what you are actually sending to it.
