How to send date and time to SQL using java -

i calling stored procedure in database. 2 of parameters requires date , time in sql date format.

string x = new simpledateformat("mm-dd-yyyy").format(new date()) + " 00:00:00 am"; string y = new simpledateformat("mm-dd-yyyy").format(new date()) + " 11:59:00 pm"; date fromdate = null; date todate = null; try {    fromdate = new simpledateformat("mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss a").parse(x);    todate = new simpledateformat("mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss a").parse(y); } catch (parseexception ex) { } callablestatement proc_stmt = con.preparecall("{ call someproc(?,?) }"); proc_stmt.setdate(1, (java.sql.date) fromdate); proc_stmt.setdate(2, (java.sql.date) todate); 

i believe if send date(excluding time), code works, of no use me database not generate correct results. when run above code

classcastexception:java.util.date cannot cast java.sql.date 

any solution?

use java.sql.timestamp class holds date , time sql fields, , callablestatement#settimestamp:

proc_stmt.settimestamp(1, new java.sql.timestamp(fromdate.gettime());
