How to safely convert time to unix timestamp in Java?

It seems the following doesn't work properly. For example for value "2014-04-10 12:58:23.0" and "2014-04-10 00:58:23.0", it yields same answer.

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS");
Long timestamp = dateFormat.parse(date).getTime()/1000L;

It looks like your input strings are in 24-hour time format while your format string specifies 12-hour time. Try using H instead of h.
