In this Java core tutorial we learn how to convert a java.time.LocalDate object to a java.sql.Timestamp object in Java programming language.

How to convert LocalDate to Timestamp in Java

In Java, with a given LocalDate object we can follow these steps to convert it to Timestamp object.

  • Step 1: convert the LocalDate object to LocalDateTime object using LocalDate.atStartOfDay() method.
  • Step 2: convert the LocalDateTime object from step 1 to Timestamp object using Timestamp.valueOf(LocalDateTime dateTime) method.

ConvertLocalDateToTimestampExample1.java 

import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;

public class ConvertLocalDateToTimestampExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();

        // Convert LocalDate object to Timestamp object
        LocalDateTime localDateTime = localDate.atStartOfDay();
        Timestamp timestamp = Timestamp.valueOf(localDateTime);

        System.out.println("LocalDate: " + localDate);
        System.out.println("Timestamp: " + timestamp);
    }
}
The output as below. 
LocalDate: 2022-05-22
Timestamp: 2022-05-22 00:00:00.0
