Answer 1

Try using parse() instead of parseStrict(). If you use parse() dates are parsed leniently, so invalid dates will be wrapped around as needed. And with parseStrict() dates are parsed strictly, so invalid dates will result in an IllegalArgumentException. See you are using different format for your date.
02/02/2012 which corresponds to MM/dd/yyyy not to MM/dd/yy

public Date parseStrict(java.lang.String text) throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Parses text to produce a Date value. An IllegalArgumentException is
thrown if either the text is empty or if the parse does not consume
all characters of the text. Dates are parsed strictly, so invalid
dates will result in an IllegalArgumentException.
