[Wirianto Djunaidi]

As can be seen from the javadoc api, PreparedStatement.setDate() is accepting java.sql.Date object..not java.util.Date.

i know that because of that i asked how to send Date from java to Database?

Convert your java.util.Date object to a java.sql.Date object:

java.util.Date date = ...;  // wherever you get this from
 
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());
