Casting issue

Question

Hello Forum,
I am retrieving records from myslq database to oracle database,
in mysql, i have a date field and a time field for each record, in oracle i have a timestamp field, what i am doing is extracting the two mysql fields, then parsing to a java.util.Date and finally passing that to the destination database as a java.sql.date type. currently i am getting a java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.Date
this is the code:
java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date();
utilDate = (Date)df4.parse((df3.format(rs.getDate("EventDate")) + " " + df2.format(rs.getTime("EventTime")))); //combines the two fields into date
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime()); // cast to sql,Date
destStmt.setDate(EDATE, sqlDate); // pass value to prepared statement

Answer 1

i change object to java.sql.Timestamp but it is still taking the time and set it to 12:00:00 AM
this is the output:
Inserting event 'Learn how to create and use email.
Registration required.' on 2011-06-16
this is string '16-Jun-2011 10:30:00 AM'
this is utilDate dateType '16-Jun-2011 10:30:00 AM'
this is the timestamp: '2011-06-16 10:30:00.0'
Inserting event 'Learn how to create and use email.
Registration required.' on 2011-07-21
this is string '21-Jul-2011 10:30:00 AM'
this is utilDate dateType '21-Jul-2011 10:30:00 AM'
this is the timestamp: '2011-07-21 10:30:00.0'
Inserting event 'Learn how to create and use email.
Registration required.' on 2011-08-18
this is string '18-Aug-2011 10:30:00 AM'
this is utilDate dateType '18-Aug-2011 10:30:00 AM'
this is the timestamp: *'2011-08-18 10:30:00.0'*
this is the code:
java.sql.Timestamp finalDate = new java.sql.Timestamp(utilDate.getTime());
System.out.println("this is the timestamp: '" + finalDate + "' ");
destStmt.setTimestamp(EDATE, finalDate);
this is the date that is writing to database:
*14-May-2011 12:00:00 AM*
