How to parse string date in to timestamp or date

String fromDate = "12-Oct-2011 14:23:47";
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");   
java.util.Date fdate  = sdf1.parse(fromDate);

It gives error

java.parseException: unpasable date:"12-Oct-2011 14:23:47"

I want to parse string into date.

Of course: you're trying to parse 12-Oct-2011 with the pattern yyyy-mm-dd. This pattern means "the year on 4 digits, followed by minutes on 2 digits, followed by the day on two digits".

See the javadoc of SimpleDateFormat to understand how a pattern must be composed. In your case, it should be dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.
