The JXDatePicker Returns Wrong Date

Question

I am using The JXDatePicker in my Swing Application, and uses the following code to set the Date Value to the SQL Server Table

 Date date = jDatePicker1.getDate();          
 String expectedPattern = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS";
 String currentFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss.SSS";
 SimpleDateFormat dateFormatReq = new SimpleDateFormat(expectedPattern);
 SimpleDateFormat dateFormatCurr = new SimpleDateFormat(currentFormat);
 String strDate = dateFormatReq.format(dateFormatCurr.parse(dateFormatCurr.format(date)));

The problem is that the strDate value is '2011-04-01 12:00:00.000'

where as my requirement is '2011-04-01 00:00:00.000'

Any Help in the matter will be highly appreciable.

Use HH instead of hh for hours. Because HH is "Hour in day (0-23)" and hh is "Hour in am/pm (1-12)". See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html .
