When you assign a variable of parent class type to an object of subclass,
the implicit casting occurs.
Example:
java.util.Date parentDate = null;
parentDate = new java.sql.Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTime().getTime());
The above code is valid. Here we no need to do explicit casting
.

This cast thing is beginning to get me confused. if I cannot cast a
java.util.Date to a java.sql.Date since the util.Date is the ancestor
class,
can I cast a java.sql.Date to java.util.Date.� I really wish to
understand
the nitty gritty of casting.
