Hi, I have a EJB3 entity with a java.util.Date attribute defined as following : private java.util.Date dateDebut; | | @javax.persistence.Column(name = "DATE_DEBUT", nullable = false, insertable = true, updatable = true) | @javax.persistence.Temporal(javax.persistence.TemporalType.DATE) | public java.util.Date getDateDebut() | { | return dateDebut; | } | | public void setDateDebut(java.util.Date value) | { | this.dateDebut = value; | } But when I run SQL queries, the dateDebut attribute contains java.sql.Date data instead of java.util.Date ! So then I encounter problems when formatting this date ... What should I do so that SQL dates are converted to java.util.Date in my EJB3 entities ? Thanks in advance, P.S. : I run on JBoss 4.2.0.GA with MySQL database (same problem with HSQLDB anyway). View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4105392#...
