Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hello:

I have a form with a Date text field on it.

I am trying to determine which function(s) I would use to determine if the Date that the user inputs is a valid date.

For example, the user inputs "02/31/2000". Obviously, February 31 is not a valid date. But how would I programatically determine that?

In ASP, there is a "IsValidDate" function that would do this for me. Is there a JSP equivalent?

I am familiar with the Date objects in java.util and java.sql. But I can not seem to find a function that would accomplish what I am looking for.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
