At the top of you JSP page, specify which Date library you are using. For example,:
<%@ page import="java.util.Date" %> specifies the Date class as defined in the java.util.Date package. Note that using <%@ page import="java.util.*" %> will not work IF you also have the sql import statement <%@ page import="java.sql.*" %> in the same jsp page, which I suspect you do by the error message you received. Hope this helps!
