How to Convert JavaScript Date to Date in Java?

Question

I need to convert JsDate to java.util.Date. I searched but I couldn't find anything. So could you help me with this problem?

Edit: I do this conversion process on GWT screen. I have Datepicker on screen and it gives me JsDate value when I use it's getValue() method. So I'm supposed to put this value into the property of an object which has Date type.

ObjectName.setDate(PickerName.getValue()); 

I hope my edit will be more clear.

Edit2:

This line is the solution of my problem:

myObject.setDate(new Date((long) myPicker.getValue().getTime()));

The best way of dates conversion is using time in milliseconds, UTC. Both JS Date object and java.util.Date class support conversion to milliseconds (getTime()) and instantiating from milliseconds (using constructor).
