title: Hibernate HQL and Date
body: <p>I have a MySQL table with one of the column type as Date. In my hibernate mapping file I have mapped this column to type java.util.Date. Now in HQL while trying to retrieve objects based on date equality I do not get any results if I set the Date using new Date(). If I normalize the date by setting hours, minutes and seconds to zero I get results. Is this required since I have declared the SQL column type to be a Date and not Timestamp?</p>
