yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff (where ffffffffff represents nanoseconds) to a
java.sql.Timestamp instance. As pointed out previously, this is easier than writing your own converter. See Javadocs for java.sql.Timestamp for more info.In your Entity Bean class you would declare the field like the following:
public abstract java.sql.Timestamp getstartDate();
public abstract void setStartDate(java.sql.Timestamp newStartDate);
And then you can use Timestamp.valueOf(String yourStartDateAsString) to convert as appropriate.
