Date conflict

[Dave Foley]

I'm working on a page that creates a date time field and then inserts it into the database. To do this I've had to include some java files:
<%@ page import="java.util.*, java.text.*" %>
<%@ page import= "java.sql.*" %>
When I try to create a new Date with the following code I get an error saying there is a conflict with java.util.* and java.sql.* both having date functions. But the Date functions won't work with just the sql files.
Code:
String sOut = "";

Date today = new Date();
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();
out.print("Date:" + df.format(today));
sOut=df.format(today);
session.setAttribute("snFinishTime", sOut);
response.sendRedirect("endSession2.jsp");

try this:

String sOut = "";
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();
out.print("Date:" + df.format(today));
sOut=df.format(today);
session.setAttribute("snFinishTime", sOut);
response.sendRedirect("endSession2.jsp");

Thanks, I probably should have thought of that!
