The Java 7 docs say:
"s - a String object representing a date in in the format "yyyy-[m]m-[d]d".
The leading zero for mm and dd may also be omitted."
http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html
So the java.sql.Date does accept single-digit month and day, at least for Java 7.
All the work you did to reject single-digit month and day are not correct, if
that's what you did.
