Need help with java.sql.Date!

[helpwithcode]

Hi people,
I am just learning java.I have been creating a project which involves JDBC Connectivity.I find that the statements,

String string_dob=text_dob.getText();
//Converting string to date
System.out.println(string_dob);
s.Info_DOB=Date.valueOf(string_dob);


runs perfectly fine in the method insert() and throws up an illegal Exception in the method UPDATE.This is the error I get when I pass a date "1979-05-02"

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: " 1979"

where line 225 is: s.Info_DOB=Date.valueOf(string_dob);
and line 133 is: Update_Employee();

Would appreciate if someone is able to rectify the error!
Thanks,
Wishing you a great day,
with best regards,

1.) Use code tags when posting code/stacktraces
2.) I suggest you debug using a debug tool or printlns. If it says the format is not valid, then chances are very good that the format is not valid. Somewhere in your code the date value is being modified into an incorrect format.

Hey r035198x,

THANKS A LOT!I JUST FOUND OUT MY MISTAKE-A VERY SIMPLE MISTAKE REALLY.
I HAD AN EXTRA SPACE IN THE TEXTBOXES(MY SEARCH METHOD ADDS AN EXTRA SPACE-DUE TO PARSING) WHICH GOT CONCATENATED WITH WHATEVER I ENTERED INTO THEM. SINCE THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE FORMAT IN DATE DATA TYPE IN JAVA, IT WAS GIVING ERRORS EVEN BEFORE THE SQL QUERY WAS CALLED.
LOGICALLY EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT, SINCE I HAD DONE THE SAME WITHOUT THE DATE AND THE UPDATE WAS WOKRING PERFECTLY!

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS THOUGH, SHALL KEEP THEM IN MIND .

Hey r035198x,

THANKS A LOT!I JUST FOUND OUT MY MISTAKE-A VERY SIMPLE MISTAKE REALLY.
I HAD AN EXTRA SPACE IN THE TEXTBOXES(MY SEARCH METHOD ADDS AN EXTRA SPACE-DUE TO PARSING) WHICH GOT CONCATENATED WITH WHATEVER I ENTERED INTO THEM. SINCE THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE FORMAT IN DATE DATA TYPE IN JAVA, IT WAS GIVING ERRORS EVEN BEFORE THE SQL QUERY WAS CALLED.
LOGICALLY EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT, SINCE I HAD DONE THE SAME WITHOUT THE DATE AND THE UPDATE WAS WOKRING PERFECTLY!

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS THOUGH, SHALL KEEP THEM IN MIND

You didn't have to start a new thread for that. We don't close threads even though the issues seem to be resolved.
Also refrain from using all caps (considered shouting). The rest of the guidelines can be found here.
I'll have to delete your other thread.
