Hi, inside my bean i have an attribute
private Date fec_estado;
when i want to set a value on that attribute :
tempUsuario.setFec_estado(new Date(res.getObject(7).toString()));
it gives me a warning and it says that the java.util.Date(java.lang.String) has been deprecated..
So what should i use....should i keep using java.util.Date or what?
Date is not deprecated, but many of its methods are. If you want to turn a String into a Date, use SimpleDateFormat.

You can use the Calendar instead.

For setting its value you have several options:
//get current time
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
//set some field (google to read about the maya's predicting some big things //happen at the year 2012)
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2012);
//convert to Date
Date date = cal.getTime();
//...
