hi
I was recently using constructor expressions in my hql queries and was supprised to see that selecting a field in an entity in this way of type java.sql.Date returned me an object of type java.util.Date. Have anybody else encountered this issue..? or can somebody explain me why this is the expected behaviour, if thats the case..?

cheers

could you explain the way you checked that?

java.sql.Date does inherit java.util.Date; if you checked "the wrong way" (instanceof for example) you get true and its still ok.

hi Laures
thanks for your reply. I just started out making a DTO object taking a java.sql.Date as constructor argument. As i got an error indicating a type error, i then tried with java.util.Date and it worked like a charm - this was nice as i made it work but i would just like to understand it as well, since it seems a bit strange to me as entity field is defined as java.sql.Date.

best regards
Rasmus
