Best way to get maximum Date value in java?

Question

I\'m writing a bit of logic that requires treating null dates as meaning forever in the future (the date in question is an expiration date, which may or may not exist). Inst

Answer 1

One problem I see is that for sorting on expiration date, using a null isn't easily sortable. So replacing with an actual value (even if it's an arbitrary sentry value well into the future) may be needed.

I suppose another way of treating "no expiration" is simply to say something expires 100 years in the future... Unless your database is dealing with long-term contracts!
