如何从datetimepicker接收日期并将其保存到数据库中？

Question

I need to receive a date from user, and save that in database. I am using the following datetimepicker to receive the date, I receive the date as following,

It runs into following exception

  SEVERE: org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Value '0000-00-00' can not be represented 
  as java.sql.Date

Entered date

   Thu Jun 13 00:00:00 EST 2012

How can I retrieve the date only to be able to save that into database?

JSP

  <sx:datetimepicker name="mydate"
                           label="myDate"
                           displayFormat="dd-MMM-yyyy"
                           value="todayDate"/>

Java

...
private Date mydate;
...
@Temporal(javax.persistence.TemporalType.DATE)
getter

setter

Database

name     type
mydate   Date

Even when I use the following method as well to set the variable it throws the same exception

public Date getCurrentDate(){
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
        Date date = new Date();
        System.out.println("Current Date" + dateFormat.format(date));
        return  date;
    }

Answer 1

Change display format dd-MMM-yyyy to MM-dd-yyyy

<sx:datetimepicker name="mydate"
    label="myDate"
    displayFormat="MM-dd-yyyy"
    value="todayDate"/>

Answer 2

Try this conversion

java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(struts2Date.getTime());

and save the sqlDate in mySQL table
