Spring HTTP Status 400 - The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect (when adding date input)

Question

When I add a date field on the jsp form I get this error, but it works fine without it.

Request

Answer 1

A long time back I also faced this problem.

I solved it using:

@InitBinder

protected void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(
            dateFormat, false));
}
