   I need to set a timestamp field to an

  "end of time" date/time

...
   preparedStatement.set(x, new Timestamp(Long.MAX_VALUE));


  I get an exception that says invalid ISO date format ...


  I just need to represent a date that will be greater or equal to
any Java dates.


  Should I use another (smaller?) constant, if yes
what is it ?

  Or is this a bug that will be fixed ?
