Passing Java Date into Oracle Package Variable Date.

[scohan]

How can I pas a java.util.Date set in my java app into a package variable? The package looks like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE logpack AS
updateTs Date;

PROCEDURE SetAuditUpdateTs(p_UpdateTs IN DATE);

END logpack;
/

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY logpack AS

PROCEDURE SetAuditUpdateTs(p_UpdateTs IN DATE) IS
BEGIN
updateTs := p_UpdateTs;
END SetAuditUpdateTs;

END logpack;
/

Thanks
