Date is not inserted in the DB table

Question

Hi,
     I have a view, showing some data, including date and I have a save button. View has some of the fields update able. When I click the save button a bean function is called which run the query to update values in the DB table, taking those values from the view.
     Now the problem is, date is not updated as the query doesn't run just  because of the date and I am getting this error:
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
and the date format is: 2013-09-23
I have tried using to_date() method, but it didn't work for me.
Here is my query:
            oracle.jbo.domain.Date  Pshipdate =( oracle.jbo.domain.Date) rowSelected.getAttribute("Pshipdate");
                "UPDATE SHIPEXT" +
                " SET APP = " +
                "'" + status + "' " +
          ", PSHDAT = " + "to_date('" + Pshipdate + "', 'dd/mm/yyyy')"
                +  ", MBY = " +
                "'" + LoggedInUser + "'"
                + ", IP = " +
                "'" + IP + "'"
                + ", DSREMS = " +
                "'" + descrems + "'" +
                ",  MDAT  = "
                + "to_date('" + getCurrentTimeStamp() + "', 'dd/mm/yyyy')" +
                " Where WO =" +
                "' " + workorder + "'"
                + "AND SR = " +
                "'" + sr + "'"

I'll repost what you branched off
There's all kinds of things wrong.
For a start, I can't see P_shipdate anywhere, though I can see Pshipdate.
If you mean Pshipdate, Java is converting it to a string which you are then converting back to a date with to_date.
Check that the default print  string returned is of dd/mm/yyyy format.
Similarly with MDAT and getCurrentTimestamp - what is default print string of geCurrentTimestamp?
All these problem could be avoided if you use bind variables.
We are trying to help but you seem determined not to accept any help.
Have you checked the print string formats of Pshipdate and getCurrentTimestamp?
