This is off-topic for a JSP list. This has two primary areas of concern:
JDBC and core Java: JDBC because you're retrieving a date from a database
(as a string, which is incorrect) and core Java because you're comparing two
Date objects.
However, because Alan has put me in a good mood by asking a question and
then requesting that I not answer...
You have a few solutions. One is to retrieve a timestamp from the DB instead
of a string, but this only works if it's stored as a date. Another solution
is to parse the string into a Date (via java.text.DateFormat) and compare
the resulting objects that way. I'm sure other original minds can find more.
