Hi,

We are getting an error whenever our users try to register on our website, www.magpi.com. The error being thrown is coming from CG service. See below.

WARN client.CGService - Exception parsing date 2017-01-10T14:54:18-05:00
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1

Please help us resolve this issue urgently as most of our users cannot create an account.

Thanks,

   Hi George. It looks like you have some custom date parading there in your
   Java lib. A fix was made recently in the CG API response to consistently
   produce datetimes in the proper timezone which may be why the lib's date
   parsing is failing. We had one other merchant with a prob with a Java lib
   that was mitigated by changing the authed user's timezone to UTC.

   That's "parsing", not "parading"...

   Hi Marc,

   Thanks for the information, we will update the Java lib and see if this will resolve the error.

   Regards,
   George
