Question

I want to insert date from jquery datepicker to database.

String startDate = request.getParameter("datepicker");
        SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
                "MM/dd/yyyy");
        Date tempDate = simpleDateFormat.parse(startDate);
        SimpleDateFormat outputDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
                "dd-MM-YYYY");
        out.println("Output date is = " + outputDateFormat.format(tempDate));

i'm using ps.setDate(1,***), here i'm unable to understand how to convert tempDate to sqldate and place it in *** place above and finally insert it into database.

please let me know how can i do this.

You need:

ps.setDate(1, new java.sql.Date(tempDate.getTime()));
