String conversion of time to Java.Sql.Time

Question

Hello,
Im developing a servlet based application where I need to take the time from the user in the hh:mm format and then add it to the database ( MS SQL Server 2000) . I do so via a HTML page.
Now in my servlet I retrieve the value using request.getParameter which gets retrieved as String.So now I need to convert it to the Time format so that I can add it to the DB.
Can someone please guide me as to how this is done, Ive tried SimpleDateFormat but Im not quite clear with that concept and so I think Ive messed it up. Hence Im not posting anything here.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

String dateStr = "15:00";
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
try {
            Date date = format.parse(dateStr);
            System.out.println("date: " + date);
            Time t = new Time(date.getTime());
            System.out.println("date: " + date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
}
