java - Can't get date from bootstrap date picker -


we're doing project , there's date picker in bootstrap, problem is, can't seem in servlet. here's code date picker:

<div class="bfh-datepicker" data-max="today" data-close="false" data-date="today" data-format="y-m-d">       <input id="birthdate" type="text" data-name="birthdate" name='birthdate' style='background-color:white;'> </div> 

and here's code relaying information database:

stmt3.setstring(5, request.getparameter("birthdate")); 

i made birthdate column in database varchar test if servlet getting information, guess doesn't. also, if happen information date picker:

  1. does return string?
  2. if returns string, how supposed convert date put in database?

note: i'm using java , mysql

include js files.try this

     <input class="datepicker_multi_start" name="datepicker[]"/>      <script type="text/javascript">   $(document).ready(function()  {   $("#append").click( function() {     $(this).datepicker(); });  </script>
