java.sql.Timestamp is throwing error

Question

I am taking the current time using following method:

import java.sql.Timestamp;
public class TimeFormat
{
        public static Timestamp getCurrentDateAndTime()
        {
            String strFormat = new String("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
            SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(strFormat);
            java.util.Date theDate = new java.util.Date();
            theDate = (java.util.Date) formatter.parse(formatter.format(theDate));
            Timestamp rtnTS = new Timestamp(theDate.getTime());
            return rtnTS;
        }
}

Now created another class as a data model:

public class InvoiceObject extends java.lang.Object implements Serializable
{
    public Integer mId;
    public Timestamp mTimeIssued;

    public InvoiceObject()
    {
            this.mId = new Long("0");
            Timestamp tempTime = TimeFormat.getCurrentDateAndTime(); //successful
        this.mTimeIssued = tempTime; //here throwing error
    }
}

Can't understand why it's throwing error during assign the current date

I very much doubt that a simple assignment is throwing an exception. However, the fact that you haven't even told us what the error is makes it hard to help you... (Why are you using java.sql.Timestamp when your data clearly isn't a full timestamp, anyway? If you've only got data to the level of java.util.Date, why not stick with that?) — Jon Skeet

I'm surprised that your method getCurrentDateAndTime() didn't ask you to either throw or catch a certain ParseException. — Rahul

@R.J it has a throw and catch but before post here I have removed to make the space shorter — ray

mport java.io.Serializable;
import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;

public class TT {

    /**
     * @param args

     */
    public static Timestamp getCurrentDateAndTime() throws Exception
    {
        String strFormat = new String("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(strFormat);
        java.util.Date theDate = new java.util.Date();
        theDate = (java.util.Date) formatter.parse(formatter.format(theDate));
        Timestamp rtnTS = new Timestamp(theDate.getTime());
        return rtnTS;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        InvoiceObject i=new InvoiceObject();
        System.out.println(i.getmTimeIssued());
        }

}
class InvoiceObject extends java.lang.Object implements Serializable

    public Integer mId;
    public Timestamp mTimeIssued;

    public InvoiceObject()

           // this.mId = new Long("0");
            Timestamp tempTime;
            try {
                tempTime = TT.getCurrentDateAndTime();
                  this.mTimeIssued = tempTime;
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } //successful
       //here throwing error
    }
    public Timestamp getmTimeIssued() {
        return mTimeIssued;
    }
}
