Have a look at java.text.DateFormat. Particularly its parse method.

i use this utility class: (means Enter String output Date)

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
 
public class Datas {
 
    public Date entraStringSaiDate(String data) {
 
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
 
        Date d = null;
        try
            {
                d = sdf.parse(data);
            }
        catch (ParseException e)
            {
                System.out.println("Unparseable date \n "
                        + data);
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        return d;
    }
}  

in my code i define:

 private Date data; 

and in my hbm.xml:

         <property
            name = "data"
            type = "date" /> 

hope this helps
