Searching got problem....Help needed

My lecturer gave me this question n somehow I have completed most of this portion. But still my Searching method is not working properly in the class Transaction.

Here is the question:
1. Create a class Counter having counterID, cashierID, openingBalance and closingBalance, date, and shiftNumber( range 1-3 )
2. Create an ADT to create records, sort & search scale between any 2 dat, sales on the date (I did only sales on the date). Store records in object file or any database.
3. Client class can call methods of ADT using its methods

Check the codes below:
Date class:

public class Date implements java.io.Serializable {

private int month ; // 1-12
private int year ; // any year
private int day ; // 1-31

public Date() {

setData( 0, 0 , 0 ) ;
}


public Date( int theMonth , int theYear , int theDay ) {

setData( theMonth , theYear , theDay ) ;

}

private void setData( int theMonth , int theYear , int theDay ) {

month = checkMonth( theMonth ) ;
year = theYear ;
day = checkDay( theDay ) ;

System.out.printf( "Date object constructor for date %s\n" , this ) ;
}

// Utility method to confirm proper month value
private int checkMonth( int testMonth ) {

if( testMonth > 0 && testMonth <= 12 ) // valid month
return testMonth ;
// month is invalid
else{
System.out.printf( "Invalid month (%d) set to 1." , testMonth );
return 1 ;
} // end else
} // end method checkMonth

// Utility method to confirm proper day value based on month and year
private int checkDay( int testDay ) {

int daysPerMonth[] = { 0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 } ;

//check if day in range for month
if( testDay > 0 && testDay <= daysPerMonth[ month ] )
return testDay ;

//check for leap year
if( month == 2 && testDay == 29 && ( year % 400 == 0 || ( year % 4 == 0 && year
% 100 != 0 ) ) )
return testDay ;

System.out.printf( "Invalid day(%d) set to 1." , testDay ) ;
return 1 ;
} // end of method checkDay

public int getMonth() {

return month ;
} // end method getMonth

public int getDay() {

return day ;

public int getYear(){

return year ;

public boolean equals( Date that ) {

return day == that.getDay() && month == that.getMonth() && year == that.getYear() ;
}

public int compareTo( Date that ) {

return day > that.getDay() ? 1 : day < that.getDay() ? -1 :
month > that.getMonth() ? 1 : month < that.getMonth() ? -1 :
year > that.getYear() ? 1 : year < that.getYear() ? -1 : 0 ;
}

public String toString() {

return String.format("%d/%d/%d ", month , day , year) ;
}// end of toString method
}

Counter class:

public class Counter implements java.io.Serializable {

private String counterID, cashierID ;
private int openingBal, closingBal ;
private int shiftNumber ;
private Date date ;

public Counter() {

setCounter( null, null, 0, 0, 0, null ) ;
}

public Counter( String countID, String cashID, int openBal, int cloBal,
int shiftNum, Date d ) {

setCounter( countID, cashID, openBal, cloBal, shiftNum, d ) ;
}

private void setCounter( String countID, String cashID, int openBal, int cloBal,
int shiftNum, Date d ) {

counterID = countID; cashierID = cashID; openingBal = openBal; closingBal = cloBal;
shiftNumber = shiftNum; date = d;
}

public String getCounterID() {

return counterID ;
}

public String getCashierID() {

return cashierID ;
}

public int getOpeningBal() {

return openingBal ;
}

public int getClosingBal() {

return closingBal ;
}

public int getShiftNumber() {

return shiftNumber ;
}

public Date getDate() {

return date ;
}

public String toString() {

return counterID + "\t" + cashierID + "\t" + openingBal + "\t" + closingBal
+ "\t" + shiftNumber + "\t" + date ;
}

}

Pls check on the searching machanism in the Transaction Class n let me know where is the error...N also guide me on how 2 improve it.... :afrog: :afrog: :afrog:

The Date constructor you're using is deprecated (use java.util.GregorianCalendar) and you're passing the arguments in the wrong order anyway.

Ya, my fren also told me that the DATe class is the problem. Anywayz thanx for helping me out bro!!! :afrog: :afrog: :afrog:
