Passing date to request param in Spring MVC

Question

I am new to Spring MVC - and I am trying to pass a date from my javascript as a request Param

My controller looks something like -

public @ResponseB         


        

Answer 1

Use @DateTimeFormat("MMddyyyy")

public @ResponseBody List<RecordDisplay> getRecords(
@RequestParam(value="userID")  Long userID,
@RequestParam(value="fromDate")     @DateTimeFormat(pattern="MMddyyyy") Date fromDate,
@RequestParam(value="toDate")     @DateTimeFormat(pattern="MMddyyyy") Date toDate) {

Answer 2

Use @DateTimeFormat(pattern="yyyy-MM-dd") where yyyy is year, MM is month and dd is date

public @ResponseBody List<Student> loadStudents(@DateTimeFormat(pattern="yyyy-MM-dd") Date birthDay) {
    ...
}

Answer 3

This is now @DateTimeFormat as well which supports some common ISO formats
