DateFormat as Cell Renderer

Question

I am trying to use a DateFormat object as a Rederer for a table column.
This is the Code I'm using:
DateFormat df2 = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, DateFormat.MEDIUM); //defines a date format.
list = new javax.swing.JTable();
TableColumn col = list.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
    col.setCellRenderer(new MyTableCellRenderer());
public class MyTableCellRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {
        // This method is called each time a cell in a column
        // using this renderer needs to be rendered.
        public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
                boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int rowIndex, int vColIndex) {
            // 'value' is value contained in the cell located at
            // (rowIndex, vColIndex)
            if (isSelected) {
                // cell (and perhaps other cells) are selected
            if (hasFocus) {
                // this cell is the anchor and the table has the focus
            // Configure the component with the specified value
            setText(df2.format(value));
            // Set tool tip if desired
            //setToolTipText((String)value);
            // Since the renderer is a component, return itself
            return this;
        // The following methods override the defaults for performance reasons
        public void validate() {}
        public void revalidate() {}
        protected void firePropertyChange(String propertyName, Object oldValue, Object newValue) {}
        public void firePropertyChange(String propertyName, boolean oldValue, boolean newValue) {}
    }The table holds data that I pulled in from an SQL database query. The Query works fine, I get my row of data, break it up into a Vector, then add it to the table model.
Code:
                   pst=sqlConnection.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM taxilogdb ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1");
                    rs=pst.executeQuery();
                    while(rs.next()){
                        v.add((Date)rs.getTimestamp("timegiven"));
                        v.add(rs.getString("location"));
                        v.add(rs.getTimestamp("arrival"));
                        v.add(rs.getTimestamp("pickup"));
                        v.add(rs.getString("destination"));
                        v.add(rs.getDouble("fare"));
                        v.add(rs.getDouble("paid"));
                        v.add(rs.getDouble("check1"));
                        v.add(rs.getDouble("charge"));
                        v.add(rs.getTimestamp("clear"));
                        v.add(rs.getBoolean("CMO"));
                        v.add(rs.getBoolean("saferide"));
                        v.add(rs.getBoolean("timecall"));
                        v.add(rs.getBoolean("passed"));
                        v.add(rs.getBoolean("personal"));
                        v.add(rs.getBoolean("roadcrew"));
                        v.add(rs.getBoolean("walkup"));
                        v.add(rs.getString("chargeName"));
                        v.add(rs.getInt("ID"));
                    model.insertRow(0,v);
                } catch (SQLException ex) {
                    ex.printStackTrace();
                }When I run the app, I get an exception:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.sql.Timestamp
at TaxiLogUI.TaxiLogUI$MyTableCellRenderer.getTableCellRendererComponent(TaxiLogUI.java:3589)
at javax.swing.JTable.prepareRenderer(JTable.java:3924)
at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTableUI.paintCell(BasicTableUI.java:2070)
I'm guessing from the Exception it is a result of trying to format the data as a Date. What I don't understand is that I Cast the SQL Timestamp to a Date, and as far as I can tell, that works fine. I verified that the issue is NOT when I break up the result set from the SQL Query, So I am not 100% sure where it's coming from. Why is it generating this exception? What should I read up on?? I'm stuck . Thanks.

If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained,
Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the
incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing
based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its
original formatting.
