How can I set Dateformat dd/MM/yyyy using jDATECHOOSER

Question

I´m trying to get/set following Date Format into the Database(MySQL) dd/MM/yyyy.

In the DB, the column "Geburt" is set as DATE and is already known that the standard format from MySQL is yyyy/MM/dd.

Added to it, I´m using jDateChooser for selecting, inserting and updating data.

It looks like this now:

 private void wiwTextFocusLost(java.awt.event.FocusEvent evt) {                                  
    String userId = wiwText.getText();

    try {
        String sql = "SELECT * FROM TBL_TEILNEHMER WHERE WIW= ?";
        S**tring dateValue = rs.getString("Geburt"); // What ever column
        java.util.Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").parse(dateValue);** //I added this here from a example I saw here
        pst = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
        pst.setString(1,userId);
        rs = pst.executeQuery();

        if(rs.next()) {
            nameText.setText(rs.getString("Name"));
            vornameText.setText(rs.getString("Vorname"));
            geburtChooser.setDate(date);
            mailText.setText(rs.getString("Mail"));
            telText.setText(rs.getString("Telefon"));
            reText.setText(rs.getString("re"));
            dcText.setText(rs.getString("dc"));
            emeaText.setText(rs.getString("emea"));
            assetText.setText(rs.getString("assetid"));
            modellCombo.setSelectedItem(rs.getString("Model"));
            herstellerText.setText(rs.getString("hersteller"));
            strasseText.setText(rs.getString("strasse"));
            nummerText.setText(rs.getString("nummers"));
            stadtText.setText(rs.getString("stadt"));
            privatnummerText.setText(rs.getString("privatnummer"));
            privatmailText.setText(rs.getString("privatmail"));
            handyText.setText(rs.getString("handy"));
            whatsCombo.setSelectedItem(rs.getString("whats"));
            skypeText.setText(rs.getString("skype"));
            rs = pst.executeQuery();

        }else{
        rs.close();
        pst.close();
        }
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e.getMessage());
    } catch (ParseException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Benutzer.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
} 

I´ve tried to find my answer here and on StackOverFlow from Brazil, but not found.

With this method I was trying to update the data I got into the select. None of both ways worked.

 private void bearbeitenActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                           
    try{
        String sql = "UPDATE TBL_TEILNEHMER SET NAME=?, VORNAME=?, GEBURT=?, MAIL=?, TELEFON=?, RE=?, DC=?, EMEA=?, ASSETID=?, MODEL=?, HERSTELLER=?, "
                + "STRASSE=?, NUMMERS=?, STADT=?, PRIVATNUMMER=?, PRIVATMAIL=?, HANDY=?, WHATS=?, SKYPE=? WHERE WIW='"+wiwText.getText()+"'";
        pst = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
        pst.setString(1, nameText.getText());
        pst.setString(2, vornameText.getText());
        pst.setString(3, geburtChooser.getDate().toString());
        pst.setString(4, mailText.getText());
        pst.setString(5, telText.getText());
        pst.setString(6, reText.getText());
        pst.setString(7, dcText.getText());
        pst.setString(8, emeaText.getText());
        pst.setString(9, assetText.getText());
        pst.setString(10, modellCombo.getSelectedItem().toString());
        pst.setString(11, herstellerText.getText());
        pst.setString(12, strasseText.getText());
        pst.setString(13, nummerText.getText());
        pst.setString(14, stadtText.getText());
        pst.setString(15, privatnummerText.getText());
        pst.setString(16, privatmailText.getText());
        pst.setString(17, handyText.getText());
        pst.setString(18, whatsCombo.getSelectedItem().toString());
        pst.setString(19, skypeText.getText());
        pst.executeUpdate();

        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Benutzerdaten wurden bearbeitet.");
    }catch(SQLException e){
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e.getMessage());
    }
}                      

Could someone help me?

My problem is basically I can´t convert the format from MySQL to the Format of datechooser although I´ve already changed the format in datechooser to yyyy.MM.dd ...

I´m doing something really wrong. I´ve tried many ways and nothing worked. Also tried to change the DateFormat in MySQL ... reached nothing.

THANK YOU!

I found the solution!

pst.setString(4,((JTextField)geburtChooser.getDateEditor().getUiComponent()).getText());

Now it works!
