If you use jdbc, there was a bug there. It didn't receive date
properly, you needed to do it in 2 pieces, date and time separately.
I don't know if a bug was fixed lately. Anyway, you don't exactly
need a calendar. jdbc uses java.sql.date class for dates, and you can
get components directly from this class, using methods getHours,
getMinutes and getSeconds.
If it's too complex for you, consider, like D.A. Morgan suggests,
using to_char function in your query.
