jdbc - Get the current date in java.sql.Date format -

i need add current date prepared statement of jdbc call. need add date in format yyyy/mm/dd.

i've try with

dateformat dateformat = new simpledateformat("yyyy/mm/dd"); date date = new date(); pstm.setdate(6, (java.sql.date) date); 

but have error:

threw exception java.lang.classcastexception: java.util.date cannot cast java.sql.date 

is there way obtain java.sql.date object same format?

a java.util.date not java.sql.date. it's other way around. java.sql.date java.util.date.

you'll need convert java.sql.date using constructor takes long java.util.date can supply.

java.sql.date sqldate = new java.sql.date(utildate.gettime());
