    gc.setTime(new Date()); 

    try{
      xmlDate = DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(gc);
    }catch(Exception e){
      e.printStackTrace();
    } 
    return xmlDate;
  }
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {
 
    XMLGregorianCalendar xmlDate = getXMLGregorianCalendar();
 
    /* java.util.Date */
    Date date = xmlDate.toGregorianCalendar().getTime();
    System.out.println("java.util.date :- " + date);
 
    /* java.sql.Date */
    long time = xmlDate.toGregorianCalendar().getTime().getTime();
    java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(time);
