Answer 1

For IDE use ISODate() for SPRING DAO convert string to Date object

query.addCriteria(Criteria.where("created").ne(null).andOperator(
                Criteria.where("created").gte(DateUtils.getDate("2016-04-14 00:00:00", DateUtils.DB_FORMAT_DATETIME)),
                Criteria.where("created").lte(DateUtils.getDate("2016-04-14 23:59:59", DateUtils.DB_FORMAT_DATETIME))
            ));


public final class DateUtils {    

    public static final String DB_FORMAT_DATETIME = "yyyy-M-d HH:mm:ss";        

    private DateUtils() {
        // not publicly instantiable
    }       

    public static Date getDate(String dateStr, String format) {
        final DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
        try {
            return formatter.parse(dateStr);
        } catch (ParseException e) {                
            return null;
        }
    }
