Driver simply does not know what to do with java.util.Date. JDBC
specification defines what to do with the java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time
and java.sql.Timestamp, but it does not tell what to do with
java.util.Date. Also JDBC specs do not require driver to do
serialization/deserialization.

So you either convert that stuff to java.sql.Date/Time/Timestamp, or
you find some other way to set your parameter.
