Calendar Validation

[bort]

Hi all

Is there a way to validate the information in a Calendar object? For
instance, if the values for April 31, 2004 were entered (at date that does
not exist), how could we determine whether it is valid or not?

tia,
bort

BigDate.isValid is the easiest way. See
http://mindprod.com/products.html#BIGDATE. I wrote it before
GregorianCalendar existed.

Someone else could tell you how with Calendar.

try {
Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
c.setLenient(false);
c.set(Calendar.DATE, 44);
c.getTime();
} catch(IllegalArgumentException ex) {
// bad input
}

Thanks Michael... worked like a charm!

try {
Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
c.setLenient(false);
c.set(Calendar.DATE, 44);
c.getTime();
} catch(IllegalArgumentException ex) {
// bad input
}
