    A Timestamp cannot be cast to a Date...your database appears to have Timestamp. If you want a java.sql.Date, then a) change the Timestamp data type b) Add a column of type Date c) Convert the Timestamp to a java.sql.Date in your code. I have never used JDBCCategoryDataset, but the exception is thrown from within. Perhaps try to manually populate a Dataset using the last option

    Timestamp extends java.util.Date. java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date. You can construct a instance of java.sql.Date using long representation, which can be retrieved using the getTime() method provided by java.util.Date. If you have not already, I recommend diving head first into the API to study these classes and methods
    Date (Java Platform SE 6)
    Timestamp (Java Platform SE 6)
