so that's what I just tried. a cover method to access the LocalDate
public NSTimestamp invoiceBDTimestamp() { DateTime dt = new DateTime(invoiceBookedDate().toString()); NSTimestamp theIBDTS = new NSTimestamp(dt.getMillis()); return theIBDTS; } Now I can access it as an NSTimestamp in iReport. Problem is gone.
