Calendar Component and validation errors

Question

Hi,
For the first time I am trying to use the Calendar component to insert a date field in my SQL Server db.
The problem: I can insert a date column only if its of type java.sql.Timestamp.
As Timestamp extends the date object..
I tried to bind the selectedDate field as <Timestamp> Object[refractored in my class file] and when i tried to update by DB it throwing a Validation error.
If I bind it as a Date Object directly I am getting an EvaluvationException
as date objects cannot be inserted directly
Am i missing something here or is there a proper way of implementing it.

Answer 1

Its a fairly direct question about object conversion problem in creator
Basically the selectedDate parameter of the JSC Calendar component
needs to be pointed to a Date Object
If we need to insert that date information to a SQL Server column the equivalent data type should be java.sql.Timestamp which extends Date.
So if we point the selectedDate parameter as a Timestamp object the creator throws an illegal argument exception.
Can some one clarify how to resolve this issue?
