        if (obj instanceof LocalDateTime) {
            Timestamp timestamp = Timestamp.valueOf((LocalDateTime) obj);
            return new SimpleDate(timestamp);
        }
        if (obj instanceof LocalDate) {
            Date date = Date.valueOf((LocalDate) obj);
            return new SimpleDate(date);
        }
        if (obj instanceof LocalTime) {
            Time time = Time.valueOf((LocalTime) obj);
            return new SimpleDate(time);
        }
        return super.wrap(obj);
    }
}


@Autowired
private freemarker.template.Configuration configuration;

configuration.setObjectWrapper(new CustomObjectWrapper());
