Which would indicate to me that is what is being passed in the
parameter. If I would guess, from information here:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html

milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00.000 GMT.

Turn on/up logging in Postgres and run a query with that java.sql.Date
object. I am betting that what you will see in the logs is an integer.
