Problem inserting date into MS SQL Server

Question

I am trying insert date into MS SQL Server database. First I used Statement and when I insert the date only date used to be inserted properly and the time used to be always 12:00:00 AM. I tried PreparedStatement and when I insert I get an error message:
SQL Error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Optional feature not implemented
I have attached the code.
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
java.util.Date dtm = (java.util.Date)cal.getTime();
SimpleDateFormat formatOb = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy hh:mm:ss");
String date= (String)formatOb.format(dtm);
dateCreated = new java.sql.Date(formatOb.parse(date).getTime());
PreparedStatement psmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO Resume (ResumeName, Summary, Skills, OtherInformation, Interests, Memberships, Languages, Category, DateCreated, SupervisorName) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
psmt.setString(1, name);
psmt.setString(2, summary);
psmt.setString(3, skills);
psmt.setString(4, info);
psmt.setString(5, interest);
psmt.setString(6, member);
psmt.setString(7, language);
psmt.setString(8, category);
psmt.setDate(9, dateCreated);
psmt.setString(10, loginName);
psmt.executeUpdate();
Any suggestions will be really helpful.

Thanks,
I changed the field in the database of DateCreated to timestamp, but when I insert the some binary data is inserted into the database. something like 0000000000000017D.
I installed jtds-0.8.1 driver from source forge. but when try to connect to the database I get an error as:
Connection refused: connect
Error: Connection refused: connect
I have attached the code for setting the driver and url also.
private String driver = "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver";
private String url = "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://TEKKATTE:1433/placement;TDS=7.0";
