Issue
The java.util.Date class has a method called toInstant() that converts the Date instance to a java.time.Instant.
The java.sql.Date class extends the java.util.Date class, but when I attempt to call toInstant() on a java.sql.Date, I receive an UnsupportedOperationException.
Why is toInstant() an unsupported operation on java.sql.Date?
And what is the "correct" way to convert a java.sql.Date to a java.time.Instant?
Solution
According to the JavaDoc
Since sql.Date does not have a time component, there is no possibility to convert it to time.Instant
This method always throws an UnsupportedOperationException and should not be used because SQL Date values do not have a time component.
