Unable to fetch data between two dates in Hibernate Criteria

Question

I am surprisingly unable to fetch the sum of a field between two Dates My method is:

public static double getTotalfeeIncome(Date fromDate, Date toDate) {
        Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
        Transaction tx = null;
        double total = 0.0;
        try {
            tx = session.beginTransaction();
            Criteria cr = session.createCriteria(StudentFees.class);
            cr.add(Restrictions.eq("delFlg", "N"));
            cr.add(Restrictions.between("paymentDate", fromDate, toDate));
            log.debug(fromDate);
            log.debug(toDate);
            total = (Double) cr.setProjection(Projections.sum("paymentAmt")).uniqueResult();
            tx.commit();
        } catch (Exception asd) {
            log.debug(asd.getMessage());
            if (tx != null) {
                tx.rollback();
            }
        } finally {
            session.close();
        }
        return total;
    }

When I try to get the value:

double feeIncome = Expense.getTotalfeeIncome(fdate, tdate);

returns 0 but there is data between the two dates. There seem to be an error that is not getting printed out in my catch section. My logger output is:

What is it that I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Use the following

cr.add(criteria.add(Restrictions.ge("paymentDate", fromDate))); 
cr.add(criteria.add(Restrictions.lt("paymentDate", toDate)));

instead of

cr.add(Restrictions.between("paymentDate", fromDate, toDate));

UPDATE:

cr.add(Restrictions.between("DATE(paymentDate)", fromDate, toDate));
