How to convert java.util.date to java.sql.date?

Question

I am trying to use java.util.Date as input and then creating a query with it - so I need java.sql.Date.

I was surprised to find that it couldn't do the conversion implicitly or explicitly - but I don't even know how I would do this, as the Java API is still fairly new to me. Any suggestions? It seems like this should be an easy feat to accomplish.

Answer 1

Nevermind....

public class MainClass {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date();
    java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());
    System.out.println("utilDate:" + utilDate);
    System.out.println("sqlDate:" + sqlDate);

  }

}
