giving error with setDate

When i am trying to update a date field in Database its giving Error as:

"The method setDate(int, Date) in the type PreparedStatement is not applicable for the arguments (int, Date)"

I have written following code in JSP, This code is running fine for the string and integer data types using setString() and setInt() methods

what changes should i make to update date field in database.

Below is my code

PreparedStatement pstm;

pstm=c.prepareStatement("insert into table1 values(?,?)");

Date dt= new Date(dt.getTime());

//or Date dt = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/YYYY").parse("20/05/1999");

pstm.setString(1,"abcd");

pstm.setDate(2,dt);
