JCalendar to sql.Date not working

Question

Trying to enter dates into a database, got a JDatePicker(datecEventDate) and need to need its date and it to a database

java.sql.Date EventDate = datecEventDate.getDate();

This doesnt seem to work and have tried other variations I need help converting the util.Date type to sql.Date

Answer 1

As mentioned elsewhere, it is quite easy to convert from a java.util.Date to a java.sql.Date:

java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date();
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());
