java.time.LocalDate to java.util.Date

Question

What is the best way to convert from java.time.LocalDate to java.util.Date ?

Date.from(dateToReturn.atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant()

I have been trying this one but does not seem to work correct with the time although converts the date month and year correctly.

Update : java.time.LocalDate does not save time informations Just used java.time.LocalDateTime instead and everything works fine.

Answer 1

LocalDate ld = ...;
Instant instant = ld.atStartOfDay().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant();
Date res = Date.from(instant);
