I think you're going to have to elaborate on your question.

You're talking about a "java.util.Date" object? You want to know when it's null? You simply check for "object == null" in a conditional statement like "if". If the object is null, that will be true. It doesn't make sense to ask if a Date object is "empty", it's not like a String object.

If you say something "isn't working", then tell us exactly what happens and why you think it's not working.
