getting data and time into Oracle records

[Paul Allen]

Could somebody share with me the secret to getting dates AND times into Oracle DATE fields from java.util.Date properties?

Even when I set the time portion of the java.util.Date I end up only with the year+month+day in the DB.

In a related question, where is the definative documentation for the allowed format of inline parameters (i.e., the stuff between "#" and "#")?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Here's what I'm doing now:

--- Java Class ---

public class MyBean {
        private java.util.Date myDate;
        ...
        public java.util.Date getMyDate() {...}
        public void setMyDate(java.util.Date _myDate) { ... }
}


--- Ibatis Map ---

<insert id="insertMyBean" parameterClass="MyBean">
        INSERT INTO MYTABLE (MYDATE) VALUES (#myDate:DATE#)
</insert>

--- Oracle Table ---

CREATE TABLE MYTABLE
(
  MYDATE DATE
)
