java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "IST"

Question

I am getting java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "IST" exception when i am trying to convert a String object into Date object. I tried to find the solution on the forum, but those were not helpful.

Date expiry=null;
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("E MMM dd HH:mm:ss Z yyyy");

String actualDate;
if(!(actualDate=token.nextToken()).equals("null")){
    expiry = format.parse(actualDate);
}//if

What is actualDate?

The string stored in actualDate = token.nextToken() is 'IST' which is not representing a date. Check the string source that you have tokenized to see, perhaps is not a date that is following in the token stream.
