[FIXED] Parse an old date in JAVA

Issue

I'm trying to parse "1901-01-01T00:20:40.000+02:20:40" date but I'm getting the following error:

Cannot deserialize value of type java.util.Date from String "1901-01-01T00:20:40.000+02:20:40": not a valid representation (error: Failed to parse Date value '1901-01-01T00:20:40.000+02:20:40': Cannot parse date "1901-01-01T00:20:40.000+02:20:40":

I read it is a problem with java date format which is not able the pare old dates, is there something that I can do in order to fix this issue?

---- edit ----

until now, i deserialized lots of different dates from the last 20 years, and they all worked fine. It is a very simple object:

public class Record extends Docs {
    public Date published;
}

and

    results =
            given().
                    config(config).
                    log().ifValidationFails().
                    when().
                    get(lastUrlComponent).
                    then().
                    log().ifValidationFails().
                    statusCode(HttpStatus.SC_OK).
                    contentType(ContentType.JSON).
                    assertThat().body(matchesJsonSchemaInClasspath(jsonSchemaInClasspath)).
                    extract().
                    response().as(resultsClass);
}

Solution

"1901-01-01T00:20:40.000+02:20:40" is not a valid offset - 2 hours, 20 minutes, and 40 seconds from UTC
