I am getting ParseException for the following code

    String dateStr = "2011-12-22 10:56:24.389362";
    String formatStr = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS";
    Date testDate = null;
    SimpleDateFormat sdf= new SimpleDateFormat(formatStr);
    sdf.setLenient(false);
    testDate = sdf.parse(dateStr);

    System.out.println("CHECK DATE " + sdf.format(testDate));

Exception in thread "main" java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2011-12-22 10:56:24.389362" at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:337)

If I comment out the line sdf.setLenient(false), then I see a time difference in the ouput CHECK DATE 2011-12-22 11:02:53.000362

What am I doing wrong??

'S' is for millisecond. There are 1000 (0 to 999) milliseconds in a second. 389362 is greater than 999. The extra 389000 milliseconds are getting converted to 389 seconds, or 6 minutes 29 seconds and added to the time.
