Question

This is my code

     import com.cordys.cpc.bsf.busobject.BusObjectConfig;
     import com.cordys.cpc.bsf.busobject.BusObjectIterator;
     import com.cordys.cpc.bsf.busobject.QueryObject;



     public class Employee extends EmployeeBase
     {
     public Employee()
     {
          this((BusObjectConfig)null);
     }

    public Employee(BusObjectConfig config)
    {
    super(config);
    }

   public static BusObjectIterator<com.devilsWSAPP.Employee>getEmployeeDetailsByJoiningDate(java.util.Date()JoiningDate)
 {
   String queryText = "select * from Employee where joining_date =:joiningDate";
   QueryObject query = new QueryObject(queryText);
   query.addParamemeter("joiningDate","Employee.joiningDate",QueryObject.PARAM_DATE, joining_date);
   query.setResultClass(Employee.class);
    return query.getObjects();
}}

The error I got is and How do I fix this??

java.util.Date()JoiningDate

I don't know what you think that does, but it's the problem; that isn't java.

Perhaps you meant to write Date joiningDate ? It'd be legal. A mistake, as well - Date doesn't represent dates (yeah, it's a rather unfortunate name). It represents moments in time (and badly at that). You presumably want java.util.Date joiningMoment , or better yet either java.time.Instant joiningMoment , or java.time.LocalDate joiningMoment .
