Hi!

in your code

public UtilDateModel model;   // global variable 
public JDatePanelImpl datePanel;
public JDatePickerImpl datePicker;
public selectDate()
    {
    UtilDateModel model = new UtilDateModel();  // local variable
    JDatePanelImpl datePanel = new JDatePanelImpl(model);  
    JDatePickerImpl datePicker = new JDatePickerImpl(datePanel

in above you twise created object with same name and refer the empty object only,

please correct your code as

public UtilDateModel model;   // global variable declaration
    public JDatePanelImpl datePanel;
    public JDatePickerImpl datePicker;
    public selectDate()
        {
        model = new UtilDateModel();  
        datePanel = new JDatePanelImpl(model);  
        datePicker = new JDatePickerImpl(datePanel

Now try to use this..,
