How to use LocalDateTime RequestParam in Spring? I get “Failed to convert String to LocalDateTime”

Question

I use Spring Boot and included jackson-datatype-jsr310 with Maven:

    com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype         


        

Answer 1

SpringBoot 2.X.X update

If you use the dependency spring-boot-starter-web version 2.0.0.RELEASE or higher, there is no longer needed to explicitely include jackson-datatype-jsr310 dependency, which is already provided with spring-boot-starter-web through spring-boot-starter-json.

This was resolved as Spring Boot issue #9297 and the answer is still valid and relevant:

@RequestMapping(value = "datetime", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void foo(@RequestParam("dateTime") 
                @DateTimeFormat(iso = DateTimeFormat.ISO.DATE_TIME) LocalDateTime ldt) {
    // IMPLEMENTATION
}
