Answer 1

In order to get a Date (that can be used in JPA later on), I did

Date startOfMonth = Date.from(LocalDate.now().withDayOfMonth(1).atStartOfDay().toInstant(ZoneOffset.UTC));

• I take current date LocalDate.now()
• Move it to first day of the month withDayOfMonth(1)
• Move it to the sart of the day atStartOfDay() to get rid of hours and minutes
• and deal with the TimeZone issues by changing it into an Instant with the "right" ZoneOffset.
