see in the link :

The following code just solved the problem:

java.util.Date dt = new java.util.Date();  java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf =       new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");  String currentTime = sdf.format(dt); 

This 'currentTime' was inserted into the column whose type was DateTime and it was successful.
