JDBC and Oracle data type error.. please help

Im having trouble with a SQL query of mine. Im trying to get a timestamp using JDBC from an oracle database however i get the following error:

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected %s got %s

Now when i put the java.util.timestamp into the DB it appears to change.

When I printout the value of the timestamp in my console it prints the following:

07-06-26 17:28:09.414

When i check the value from SQL PLUS it gives me this value

07-06-26 17:28:09,000000

Does anyone have any idea why this happens? and more importantly how I can retrieve the timestamp again.

Im using BEA workshop which means i dont have any means of manipulating the data before presenting to the frontend.

The database is Oracle 9.2.0.1
