JSON Serializing date in a custom format (Can not construct instance of java.util.Date from String value)

Question

could not read JSON: Can not construct instance of java.util.Date from String 
value \'2012-07-21 12:11:12\': not a valid representation(\"yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SS         


        

Answer 1

I have the same problem, so I write a custom date deserialization with @JsonDeserialize(using=CustomerDateAndTimeDeserialize.class)

public class CustomerDateAndTimeDeserialize extends JsonDeserializer {

    private SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
            "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

    @Override
    public Date deserialize(JsonParser paramJsonParser,
            DeserializationContext paramDeserializationContext)
            throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {
        String str = paramJsonParser.getText().trim();
        try {
            return dateFormat.parse(str);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            // Handle exception here
        }
        return paramDeserializationContext.parseDate(str);
    }
}
