insert daterange field value

Hello!

I have a table in PostgreSQL(9.3) with
daterange<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/rangetypes.html>
field type.

I can select this field like a String with JDBC, but I cannot Insert it in
a table.

What I've tried:

PreparedStatement stm = conn.prepareStatement("insert into mytable
(my_daterange_field) values (?)");
stm.setString(1, "[2014-01-02,2014-01-04]");int i = stm.executeUpdate();

and I got:

Exception in thread "main" org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR:
column "my_daterange_field" is of type daterange but expression is of
type character varying
Hint: You will need to rewrite or cast the expression.
Position: 168

Does anyone have a solution for inserting daterange? What stm.setXXX should
I use? Or maybe I cannot do that because JDBC Driver does not have
daterange support... Maybe there is a third solution?

Thank you.

P.S.

My PostgreSQL JDBC Driver:
