it's the timezone part ("+01") that's causing the problems. it's not
supposed to be there, hence the error in parsing the timestamp. i've
had the problem before & here's the way i solved it:

Timestamp expires =
Timestamp.valueOf(rs.getString("field_name").substring(0,19));

there might be a way to alter the output format of the date, but i don't
know how. maybe peter can help us out there or have some sort of
official response.
