I am working on a program where I want to retrieve today's date in a servlet, then add some days to it say 7 days and then finally insert into oracle SQL database.

I am using prepared statement to do the call. Till now I have the current date using the following code.

```
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); 
Date date = new Date();

```

How do I add 7 days to it and then insert it in the db?
