Hi, I want to insert a date having this format MM/dd/YYYY for example:04/29/2010 to 29/04/2010 to be inserted into mysql database in a field typed Date. So i have this code:

String dateimput=request.getParameter("datepicker");
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date dt = null;
try
{
     dt = df.parse(dateimput);           
     System.out.println("date imput is:" +dt);
} 
catch (ParseException e)
{
     e.printStackTrace();
}

but it gives me those error:

1-date imput is:Fri May 04 00:00:00 CEST 2012 (it is not the correct value that have been entered).

2-dismatching with mysql date type.

I can not detect the error exactly. Please help.
