Spring Date Format

Syllaba Abou Ndiaye :

I have an angular app which send me a date like this dd/MM/yyyy. I would like to insert this date in the database. Here is my entity

@Entity
public class Individu implements Serializable {

    @Id
    private String nui;
    private int civility; 
    private String lastName;
    private String useName;
    private String firstName;
    @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
    @DateTimeFormat(pattern="dd/MM/yyyy")
    private Date birthDate;

but when i run my SpringBootApp i always have this error:

org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: JSON parse error: Cannot deserialize value of type `java.util.Date` from String "20/02/1990": not a valid representation (error: Failed to parse Date value '20/02/1990': Cannot parse date "20/02/1990": not compatible with any of standard forms ("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ", "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS", "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz", "yyyy-MM-dd")); 

Is some one have a solution for me?

xingbin :

You need @JsonFormat:

@JsonFormat(pattern="dd/MM/yyyy")
private Date birthDate;
