Problem in getting date from JSP Form

[mohsin sheikh]

Hi,
I am implenting a project on Library Management System(Web application).
I have a form as New User Registration Form in which user enters his/her information.There is one field as DateOfBirth which takes input as string(i.e date of birth of the user).Now I am extracting this inputs in Servlet.
My aim is to insert these inputs in a user table.I am using SQL Server 2000.
I am using Prepared Statement for Insert query.I convert the date of birth which is in string to java.sql.Date object using the following code:-

java.util.Date d=null;
java.sql.Date dateofbirth=null;

try {
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy");
dateofbirth = new java.sql.Date(formatter.parse(dob).getTime());

} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();}

Now the problem arises when i am doing this:-

query="Insert into USERDETAILS values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)";

pstmt=con.prepareStatement(query);
pstmt.setString(1, userid);
pstmt.setString(2, name);
******* pstmt.setDate(3, dateofbirth);
pstmt.setString(4, gender);
pstmt.setString(5, address);
pstmt.setString(6, city);
pstmt.setString(7, state);
pstmt.setString(8, country);
pstmt.setString(9, phone);
pstmt.setString(10, email);
pstmt.setString(11, occupation);
i=pstmt.executeUpdate();

I am getting error in "pstmt.setDate(3, dateofbirth);".
It gives error like "java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Optional feature not implemented"

This is the error i m getting.Please help me in this matter.I will be very thankful to you.
