Java converts wrong Timestamp

Question

The following code return the same date.
          SimpleDateFormat formater = new SimpleDateFormat();
             formater.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm");
             Timestamp ts = null;
             try {
               ts = new Timestamp (formater.parse("2006-10-10 12:00").getTime());
               System.out.println(ts);
               ts = new Timestamp (formater.parse("2006-10-10 00:00").getTime());
               System.out.println(ts);
          } catch (ParseException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          }If you see I have put different hour 12:00 and 00:00. I need both in the database. System.out prints:
2006-10-10 00:00:00.0
2006-10-10 00:00:00.0So, I have only 23 Hours a day, instead of 24.
What was my mistake?

Answer 1

Note the difference between h and H in the formatting characters.
