SimpleDateFormat Converting String to date

Question

I want to insert the date in a customer table in Oracle database. I have tow attributes id NUMBER(8) and dtRt Date

 //entity
 @ Column (name = "DT_RT")
 @ Temporal (TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
   private Date dtRt;

when converting

 SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat ("dd / MM / yyyy");
 date = formatter.parse (jFormattedTextField1.getText ());

I get:

Fri Mar 30 00:00:00 CET 14

but when I inserted into the table, the date is not inserted.

//DAO
public void add(Employe e)
{   
    EntityTransaction et = em.getTransaction();
    et.begin();
    em.persist(e);
    et.commit();  
}

// method on application client

public  void add(int mat,String grade,String fonction, int cnprs,int cin,String np   ,String adress,String tel,int disp,Date date)
{
   Employe emp=new Employe();
   Grade  gr=  bean.grade_emp(grade);
   Fonction  f=  bean.fonction_emp(fonction);
   emp.setMatEmp(mat);
   emp.setNumGrd(gr.getNumGrd());
   emp.setNumFon(f.getNumFon());
   emp.setCnprs(cnprs);
   emp.setCin(cin);
   emp.setAdress(adress);
   emp.setTel(tel);
   emp.setNp(np);
   emp.setDispo(disp);
   bean.add(emp);
}

Answer 1

Well, the problem is simple: you never set the date of the employee in the add() method. The date argument of the method is ignored.
