Hi All, For some reason the parse method in SimpleDateFormat class is not recognizing harvest_time value as a valid string. Does anyone know why? It is giving me a runtime error that says: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Cannot format given Object as a Date. Again, my XML document looks like this: <moreovernews> <article id="_23314341"> <url>http://c.moreover.com/</url> <harvest_time>Aug 15 2001 1:07PM</harvest_time> </article> ... In my XSL stylesheet I have this: <?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:DateFormat="myDateFormat" extension-element-prefixes="DateFormat"> ... <xsl:variable name="moreover-date" select="harvest_time" /> <xsl:value-of select= "DateFormat:transformDate( $moreover-date, 'yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssz', 'MMM dd yyyy hh:mma' )" /> ... myDateFormat java class looks like this: import java.util.*; import java.text.*; public class myDateFormat { public SimpleDateFormat init( String isoDate, TimeZone tz) { SimpleDateFormat prismDate = new SimpleDateFormat(isoDate); prismDate.setTimeZone(tz); return prismDate; } public String transformDate( String moreoverTime, String isoDateFormat, String oldDateFormat) { SimpleDateFormat moreoverDate = new SimpleDateFormat(oldDateFormat); TimeZone tz = new SimpleTimeZone(0, "Z"); SimpleDateFormat prismDate = this.init(isoDateFormat,tz); ParsePosition pp = new ParsePosition(0); moreoverDate.parse(moreoverTime, pp); String isoDate = prismDate.format(moreoverTime); return isoDate; } } Any suggestions on why this is happening will be great!!
