Java.sql.SQLException: Cannot convert value

Question

I have a database table - name is client. It has one field with TimeStamp Datatype.
I am using mysql-3.23.51-win and j2sdk-1_4_0_01-windows-i586.
create table client (
MODIFIED timestamp(14)
while I am doing select MODIFIED from client that time I am receiving 00000000000000.
So It has 00000000000000 value in databse.
Now I am getting this value using ResultSet. for that
I have a one Client Object class name is GenericClient
public class GenericClient {
private java.util.Date _modified;
public java.util.Date getModified() {
return _modified;
public void setModified(java.util.Date newVal) {
this._modified = newVal;
In my database processing class I am getting database value and set that value in setModified(java.util.Date newVal).
like
private Client decodeRow(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException {
GenericClient obj = new GenericClient();
obj.setModified(rs.getTimestamp(1));
return obj;
So at obj.setModified(rs.getTimestamp(1)); line I am received error message
java.sql.SQLException: Cannot convert value '00000000000000' from column 1 to TIMESTAMP.
Please guide me why I am receiving the above error.
Thanks

Answer 1

Please find some more information from my side
1) I am passing Timestamp Object
2) I am using PreparedStatement
3) code
Table : client
create table client (
     MODIFIED timestamp(14)
);Bean Class
public class GenericClient {
     private java.util.Date _modified;
     public java.util.Date getModified() {
          return _modified;
     public void setModified(java.util.Date newVal) {
          this._modified = newVal;
}Method - which is fired error
private Client decodeRow(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException {
     GenericClient obj = new GenericClient();
     obj.setModified(rs.getTimestamp(1));
     return obj;
