    Debug to find the value of `nppRequest.getIntrBankSettlementDt().toString()` and then try for format it with your pattern. – Naman Sep 28 '17 at 09:22
  • The `format` method accepts a `java.util.Date`, not a `String` –  Sep 28 '17 at 09:28

(1) From the SimpleDateFormat and your input:

nppRequest.getIntrBankSettlementDt() is "2016-04-14"

The format to be used should be:

new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")

(2) Also assuming nppRequest.getIntrBankSettlementDt() being a Date, you need not convert it into a String.

And since need in the format "yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss", follow (2) above as:

contextBO.setSettlDate(
   new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS")
      .format( nppRequest.getIntrBankSettlementDt())

Hope it will help you out

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss");
    contextBO.setSettlDate(dateFormat.format( nppRequest.getIntrBankSettlementDt()));
