You got to explicitly tell which Date object you want to use:

ex.: java.util.Date d = new java.sql.Date((Long)l);

You can also look at the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class:

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--java.text.Format
        |
        +--java.text.DateFormat
              |
              +--java.text.SimpleDateFormat
