Trouble with JDBC2 ResultSet.getDate() - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

System is Debian "woody"
java is IBM SDK1.3
Source is CVS from March 20, 2001.

Trouble is the following, that

org.postgresql.jdbc2.ResultSet.getDate(int)

Started to generate errors

java.lang.NumberFormatException: 15 14:25:17+02
        at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:415)
        at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:455)
        at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:97)
        at org.postgresql.jdbc2.ResultSet.getDate(ResultSet.java:427)
        at org.postgresql.jdbc2.ResultSet.getDate(ResultSet.java:665)
...

when fetching dates from fields of timestamp
type. It seems that the fixes provided in CVS version 1.18 from Jan 24
23:41:04 2001 of ResultSet.java regarding getDate() method broke it for
our application. Now I went back to 1.17 and copied the

  SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
 
     try {
       return new java.sql.Date(df.parse(s).getTime());
     } catch (ParseException e) {
       throw new PSQLException("postgresql.res.baddate",new
Integer(e.getErrorOffset()),s);
     }

part to replace the new code:

     return java.sql.Date.valueOf(s);

and it works fine but I have not had time to debug this any further. May
be it would be nice to have that part of the old code included in the 7.1
release driver?
