Hi,

I am trying to store date through xml using hibernate xml persistence.

But i am getting following error -

org.hibernate.HibernateException: could not parse XML

Please tell what format i shoul use for date?
In class file i am using java.util.date for data variable
and in hbm.xml i am using type="date".

Did you try to write java.util.Date also in the hbm.xml file? I remember having something like this and it helped, but has been a few month ago.
And it's capital D but I guess you know this.
