When converting a string to a date, how do I prevent date parsing from converting 2/29/01 to 3/1/01?

Is there a real reason to prevent that from happening? February 2001 only has 28 days...



Alternately, you could print out the date yourself, rather than using java.text.DateFormat.

When using DateFormat, you can set the lenient property to false so that it doesn't try to guess at what date it thought you were thinking.
