you shouldn't even need to cast it in the first place

Your code and the error message does not match. You have to be using some other version of the code.

You have:

java.sql.Date requiredByDate1 = ...
pstmt.setDate(1, requiredByDate1);

but that code cannot result in

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.Date

as it's not java.util.Date.

Your Code Here is :

Date dateFormatter = (Date) new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").
                                               parse(requiredByDate.toString());

Now Your Date may be either :

1) java.util.Date , OR

2) java.sql.Date , which ultimately is a Sub-class of java.util.Date.

However,

SimpleDateFormat class belongs to java.text package. And you are trying to cast 
an object of java.text.SimpleDateFormat to java.util.Date( OR java.sql.Date)
which is why you are getting java.lang.ClassCastException
