You need to change `desiredRoom` to be a java.util.Date. You can also use the `getTime()` method on this Date to be used in the creation of the java.sql.Date if ncessary for insertion into your DB — Scary Wombat, May 01 '17 at 07:56
You'd better learn how to read and understand these "huge and uncomprehensible exceptions". They contain the exact problem and position where it happens. — Henry, May 01 '17 at 08:01
where the problem is..is known the problem is also known how to solve it is not known — coder123, May 01 '17 at 08:18
im sorry.i did read them except what exactly is this desired room can u explain? — coder123, May 01 '17 at 08:23
What is `Date`? Did you import `java.util.Date` or `java.sql.Date`? — Henry, May 02 '17 at 05:12

declare the date taken from the datechooser as a java.util.Date then use this to convert into java.sql.Date and then insert into mysql:

sqlDate= new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());

thanks everyone for the help :)
