Hibernate & Dates

[todds]

Hi,
I have what seems to be a stupid problem.
My bean has a java.util.Date field defined in it, and this is what the Oracle database field is defined as.
I am using hibernate to manage my data access, however I get an error, where the value is too big for the field.
The value that is trying to be inserted is:
Thu Dec 02 14:11:31 EST 2004, when obviously it should be 02/12/2004.
Surely I don't need to format the date as a string and use that to save it?

thanks.

I think you should visit the Hibernate forum to get an answer to this. You don't have to convert the date to a String, that's for sure. I can vaguely recall some problems with Oracle and Dates in certain situations, but can't really remember what it was.

Again, I think the Hibernate forum (forum.hibernate.org) is a better place to get an answer...
