java.util.Date vs java.sql.Timestamp

[Mark Bennett]

How can I have struts put a java.util.Date object into a Bean?

I have found that I can set a Timestamp object into a bean.  THIS DOES WORK
(below).  However, if I change the type on the bean to java.util.Date then I
get a stack trace (also below).  I've also tried different formatting like:
value="Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 2005".  Any hints?  Thanks.

class MyBean {
  private java.sql.Timestamp myDate;

  public setMyDate(java.sql.Timestamp myDate) {
        this.myDate = myDate;
  }
}

<input type="hidden" name="myDate" value="2005-01-01 00:00:00.0">
