I am using Hibernate with mysql

I have one field 'date'

My code


public Date getDate() {

return date;
}

public void setDate(Date date) {

this.date = date;

}

My mapping file is

<property name="date" column="date"/>


I have table with field 'Date'in mysql


when I insert data it is not inserted into mysql

mysql default format is 'yyyy-mm-dd'

Please help me how to solve the problem? Can I enter the date as
'dd-mm-yyyy' and store same format in mysql.
