it happens in setting the products, but i have hard coded good data in there and it does the same thing.
Code:
prd.setProductID(1);
prd.setModelID(""); prd.setSerial("");
prd.setDatePurchased((Date)formatDateOut.parse("2004-01-01")); prd.setStorePurchased("");
prd.setCityPurchased("");
prd.setStatePurchased(""); i'm thinking it is the formatDateOut, but i can't figure out why it throws an exception intermitantly even hard coded. =/ i use that same format Date method in other places in this project and it works just fine. if i comment out all those lines where i am setting the product, it is consistant and does not throw exceptions.
i'll be spending more time tomorrow on this little section of code. i'll post when i figure it out.
