The following Java code is part of a loop in an activity:

ClipboardPage sp = tools.getStepPage();
try {
tools.getDatabase().save(sp, false, false, true);
} catch (DatabaseException ex) {
oLog.infoForced("Problem updating DB instance " + sp.getString("pzInsKey") + ":" + ex.toString(), ex);
}
Fails as seen in the tracer is:
Step Status FAIL
Step Status Info 
 ** 	String was not a date "132520907"
Now this error is OK as it indeed is no date value. My problems is that the catch block is not executed as I expected. How come?

Hello,

If i check the error "String was not a date" is being thrown with InvalidValueException which is extending PRRuntimeException, but DatabaseException is extending PRException. May be this is the reason why the InvalidValueException is not being caught by DatabaseException.

Hope this might help you.

Regards

Mahesh

Yes, indeed the wrong exception was catched. I did follow the Engine API documentatin and it only mention database exceptions. Maybe this should be added to the documentation?

InvalidValueException doesn't belong to database util, but it belongs to the Clipboard related exception which is being thrown as your date format is not valid in your case. I can able to see the documentation for the InvalidValueException class in the Engine API in Pega 7.2.2 as shown in attachment.
