将hibernate里的日期数据存入SQL server数据库怎么转换啊？

[fuhonghao]

private Date levaeTime;
public Date getLevaeTime() {
return this.levaeTime;
}

public void setLevaeTime(Date levaeTime) {
this.levaeTime = levaeTime;
}
Elestron els=new Elestron();
els.setLevaeTime("2008-10-25");
这行一直报错应该怎么解决啊。

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
		try {
			Date date = sdf.parse("2008-10-25");
			els.setLevaeTime(date);
		}
		catch (ParseException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
