SQL error save date and time in sql database

hi,

When I try to save a date in to a date field I get the following error:

Cannot assign an object of type java.lang.String to host variable 3 which has JDBC type DATE.

The solution I used worked fine but we I changed my application to use DAO and datasources I get to error.

following is my code i use.

public void createTitle(int title_id, String description, String user)

throws SQLException {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

Date date = new Date();

String dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd";

String timeFormat = "HH:mm:ss";

SimpleDateFormat ddf = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat);

SimpleDateFormat tdf = new SimpleDateFormat(timeFormat);

String creationDate = ddf.format(date);

String creationTime = tdf.format(date);

PreparedStatement newTitle = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO BE_TITLE (TITLE_ID, DESCRIPTION, DATE_CREATE, USER_CREATE) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)");

try{

newTitle.setInt(1,title_id);

newTitle.setString(2,description);

newTitle.setString(3,creationDate);

newTitle.setString(4,creationTime);

newTitle.setString(5, user);

newTitle.executeUpdate();

}finally{

newTitle.close();

}

}

What is wrong and please give me a solotion.

Kind Regards,

Richard
