title: Spring JDBC Template SQL-Query filtered by date
body: <p>I need to get filter my query by two dates. This is working when I query for it with the Oracle SQL Developer or right out of Eclipse:</p>
  
  <pre><code>select * from TABLE where rechnungs_eingang &gt;= '06.08.2012' AND rechnungs_eingang &lt;= '06.08.2015')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But if I try to get the data via my webservice I've implemented with Spring 4 I get this exception:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Caused by: org.springframework.dao.DataIntegrityViolationException: StatementCallback; SQL [select * from TABLE where rechnungs_eingang &gt;= '06.08.2012' AND rechnungs_eingang &lt;= '05.05.2014')]; ORA-01843: not a valid month
  ; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01843: not a valid month
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What and why is happening here?</p>
