Error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: MONTH

Hi,

i have the following bit of code:

[...]int typeId = idfcollection.getValue(att).getDataType();IDfValue value = idfcollection.getValue(att);if(typeId==4){     IDfTime time = (IDfTime)value.asTime();     if(!time.toString().equals("nulldate")){[...]

This normally works but sometimes i get the following error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: MONTH at java.util.GregorianCalendar.computeTime(GregorianCalendar.java:2498) at java.util.Calendar.updateTime(Calendar.java:2299) at java.util.Calendar.complete(Calendar.java:1340) at java.util.Calendar.get(Calendar.java:1120) at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.subFormat(SimpleDateFormat.java:930) at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.format(SimpleDateFormat.java:837) at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.format(SimpleDateFormat.java:809) at java.text.DateFormat.format(DateFormat.java:331) at com.documentum.fc.common.DfTime.toString(DfTime.java:330)

This error happens in the line:

 if(!time.toString().equals("nulldate")){

and i've been searching for possible factors for this to happen but until now not having any luck, does anyone know why this might happen?

Thanks, Miguel.

you most likely are getting this error because you are calling IdfTime.toString on the nulldate idftime object

the proper way to check if the idftime is null is to use the isNullDate method (refer to DFC javadocs)

Thanks for the reply, i don't know if that change will correct the problem but even so i will change it because that way is the correct way to see if the date is null, so thanks for the helpful answer
