my code

session.createCriteria(Input.class);
      DateFormat format = 
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
      Date startDate = 
(Date)format.parse("2005-01-01 00:00:00");
      Date endDate = 
(Date)format.parse("2005-03-03 00:00:00");
      crit.add(Expression.between
("inputDate", new Date(startDate.getTime()),
 new Date(endDate.getTime()))); 

This code return a list, but there is no element present in it. i think it doesn't match the condition. Anybody help.
