date string with actual date comparing

Hi,

I am using j2sdk1.4.2
I am getting a date as string in dd/MM/yy format
I am having another date as java.sql.Date

I want to check whether both are equal or not.
Please  check the following code and tell me why dates are not equal during first comparison ?
If you can suggest a better fool proof way to do it, it will be appreciated.
=======================
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;

public class DateTest
{
      public static void main(String[] args)  throws Exception
      {
            java.sql.Date dateSQL=new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

            //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
            //replace with today date string in dd/MM/yy format
            String todayDate="19/08/04";

            SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");
            java.util.Date dateUtil=sdf.parse(todayDate);
            long l=dateUtil.getTime();
            java.sql.Date dateSQL2=new java.sql.Date(l);

            System.out.println(dateSQL);
            System.out.println(dateSQL2);

            if(dateSQL.equals(dateSQL2))
                  System.out.println("equal");
            else
                  System.out.println("unequal");

            StringTokenizer stk1=new StringTokenizer(dateSQL.toString(),"-");
            int year1=Integer.parseInt(stk1.nextToken());
            int month1=Integer.parseInt(stk1.nextToken());
            int day1=Integer.parseInt(stk1.nextToken());

            StringTokenizer stk2=new StringTokenizer(dateSQL2.toString(),"-");
            int year2=Integer.parseInt(stk2.nextToken());
            int month2=Integer.parseInt(stk2.nextToken());
            int day2=Integer.parseInt(stk2.nextToken());

            if(year1==year2 && month1==month2 && day1==day2)
                  System.out.println("equal");
            else
                  System.out.println("unequal");
      }
}
