【异常处理】
Apache Tomcat/5.5.17
ReportManagerBean.java:115行代码如下：

String begin=sdf.format(begintime);

注：sdf为：SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy年MM月dd日");

    begintime 为：String begintime=request.getParameter("begintime");

传值是对象不是日期类型 将begintime 转化一下

将String begin=sdf.format(begintime); 改为：String begin=sdf.format(DateFormat.getDateInstance().parse(begintime)); 就好了。SimpleDateFormat 的format方法是：public final java.lang.String format(java.util,Date org0); format方法应该传一个Date类型的参数，而不是String 或者是其它的。
