Hi, Im trying to store in "2015-03-28 11:16:38" into my database from user input on a jsp.
but im getting this error - "java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2015-03-28 11:16:38"

<br />
 String xDate = request.getParameter("timeRequested");<br />
                Date newDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss", Locale.US).parse(xDate);<br />
                timeRequested = newDate;<br />

Any help or tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
