public void doUpdate()
{
	java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
	TimeStamp now = new TimeStamp(today.getTime());
	try
	{
		insert into Visits values(now);
	}
	catch(Exception e);
}

though if you just want datetime for record purposes
i would suggest you to store it as string by doing this
String timeStamp = now.toString();
and later on at client side reconstruct it as TimeStamp
at clinet side you only need to do this
TimeStamp newNow = TimeStamp.valueOf(timeStamp);
This would do the trick
please lemme know if you face any probs
cheers
