MS SQL server datetime and Java Date comparision problem

[Fahed Siddiqui]

Hello I have date time problem in Hibernate , in hibernate mapping i have provided the type "timestamp" , In pesistent class I have a java.util.Date type varialbe in which i m saving current date time, in MS sql server table i have datetime type column to persist this variable.

following is the date time before storing and after loading from database :the problem is that
sometimes it returns true indicating that the date is same ,but someimes it gives false :
It should be always true while i compare both objects that is before persistence and after loading from the data base the persisted value for tha object:
i think this problem iss not bcoz of hibernae , it is MS sql server datetime and java Date calss type problem........plz eply me as soon as poosible , thanks in advance!
