In a DTO, I can get a date string converted to a java.util.Date, using the com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat annotation:

class myDTO {
     @JsonFormat(pattern="MM/dd/yyyy")
     private Date theDate;
     // accessors, etc...
}

Not so when the property is of type java.util.LocalDate...

How do I make it work?

Using jackson-databind-2.4.1

Thanks!

  • Use JavaTimeModule module. Take a look at jackson-modules-java8, Jackson Serialize Instant to Nanosecond Issue, Spring Boot Jackson date and timestamp Format Commented Oct 28, 2019 at 10:18

  • @MichałZiober, thanks. Could you provide XML config that achieves this? Commented Oct 28, 2019 at 22:15
  • If you use Spring Boot it should pick up JavaTimeModule module automatically if it will be on class path. So, adding dependency would be a good start. If not, you need to create custom ObjectMapper instance and register module manually. Take a look at Customize the Jackson ObjectMapper for an example. Which version of Spring do you use?

  • Alas, this question specifically relates to spring-mvc (v4. See title/tags), not spring-boot. Thanks for the links, but those look like they're spring-boot-specific. Commented Oct 29, 2019 at 4:37
