storing date from servlet to sql server

[KumbhaniMehul]

i just want to store date from my servlet to sql server table in the following formate 10/04/2010

[travishein]

so the problem is reading the user's form input string in this format into the Date database property ?

e.g.

String formFieldDateValue = request.getParameter("myDate");
new SimpleDateFormat dateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date myDate = null;
try {
  myDate = dateFormat.parse(formFieldDateValue);
}
catch (ParseException ex) {
  // this is where we handle the invalid date entered, 
}

// and later on, in the jdbc insert part
// assuming you are using prepared statements to insert
Connection con = null;
PreparedStatement stmt = null;
try {
  con = // how ever you get the connection, e.g. data sourece
  stmt = con.prepareStatement("insert into my_table(date_value) values (?);
  stmt.setDate(1, myDate);
  stmt.executeUpdate();
}
catch (SQLException ex) {
  // handle database errors here
}
finally {
  //close statement and connection.
}
