Failed to convert property value of type java.lang.String to required type java.util.Date for property fromDate;

Question

I need to save Date type in this Format(dd/mm/yyyy) and currently this format works for me(mm/dd/yyyy)

My jsp Code

<form:input path="fromDate" id="fromDate" />
<form:errors path="fromDate"/>

I am using a script for date format as "format: 'dd/mm/yyyy'"

Controller

public ModelAndView saveOrUpdateAcademic(Academic academic,final BindingResult errors) {
String string = request.getParameter("fromDate");
System.out.println("========="+string+"=========");

try {
    if (validator != null) {
            validator.validate(academic, errors);
            if(errors.hasErrors()){
                saveError(request, getText("academic.error",academic.getAcademicYear(),locale));
                return new ModelAndView("admin/academicForm", model);   
            }
        }
 }

that string prints correct format as ("dd/mm/yyyy)

Error :

Failed to convert property value of type java.lang.String to required type java.util.Date for property fromDate; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not parse date: Unparseable date: "26/01/2015"

Please Help.

Could you include the Academic class code where you have the fromDate attribute? — Leandro Carracedo, Jan 30 '15 at 13:42
@Column(name = "from_date") @DateTimeFormat(pattern="dd-MM-yyyy") @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE) @Field public Date getFromDate() { return fromDate; } public void setFromDate(Date fromDate) { this.fromDate = fromDate; } — Aravinthan K, Jan 30 '15 at 13:54
You define pattern="dd-MM-yyyy" but you are using dd/MM/yyyy — Leandro Carracedo, Jan 30 '15 at 14:02
I am using in Jsp Page only. $('#fromDate').datepicker({ format: 'dd/mm/yyyy' }); it displays correct format as (14/01/2015) . I have a error in controller. — Aravinthan K, Jan 30 '15 at 14:05
You need to change the pattern in your Academic class, from pattern="dd-MM-yyyy" to pattern="dd/MM/yyyy" — Leandro Carracedo, Jan 30 '15 at 14:23
If you want to test which date is in your Academic fromDate attribute after you post to the controller, you may want to print academic.getFromDate() not make a request.getParameter — Leandro Carracedo, Jan 30 '15 at 14:28
I print academic.getFromDate()=Thu Apr 02 00:00:00 IST 2015 && request.getParameter("fromDate") = 04/02/2015 — Aravinthan K, Jan 30 '15 at 14:46

Use DateFormatter in the method initBinder in your Controller:

@InitBinder
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
    binder.addCustomFormatter(new DateFormatter("dd/MM/yyyy","academic.fromDate" ));
}
