After submitting the Form data don't get inserted to the database
instead says null pointer exception.

The problem is that your formatter SimpleDateForma t is not recognising the input that you gave it, so it returns NULL.

I suggest that you experiment with SimpleDateForma t in a stand-alone test program, so you can understand how it really works. If you cannot do this, then you are not going to get very far with server-side code.

Several things to try:

1. Verify that your calls get the correct data before inserting into the database.
2. Verify that the parsing is correct, and returns a non-NULL value.
3. Figure out how to handle errors - do you reject all of the transaction, or keep the completed portions?
4. Include exception output, so that we can see what really is happening.
