Trying to use the java.time API in Grails 3.1.x rest controllers.
My domain object "Absence" has a field
LocalDate date
build.gradle contains
compile "org.jadira.usertype:usertype.extended:5.0.0.GA"
as a dependency
and application.groovy contains
grails.gorm.default.mapping = {
'user-type'(type: org.jadira.usertype.dateandtime.threeten.PersistentLocalDate, class: LocalDate)
'user-type'(type: org.jadira.usertype.dateandtime.threeten.PersistentLocalDateTime, class: LocalDateTime)
}
This works for persisting the domain object, so the backend/db side of it seems to work as expected.
However, when serializing the domain object through a RestController, I am unable to properly formatting the way I want (i.e. yyyy-MM-dd). The output is
"date": {
"chronology": {
"calendarType": "iso8601",
"class": "java.time.chrono.IsoChronology",
"id": "ISO"
},
"class": "java.time.LocalDate",
"dayOfMonth": 19,
"dayOfWeek": {
"enumType": "java.time.DayOfWeek",
"name": "THURSDAY"
},
"dayOfYear": 140,
"era": {
"enumType": "java.time.chrono.IsoEra",
"name": "CE"
},
"leapYear": true,
"month": {
"enumType": "java.time.Month",
"name": "MAY"
},
"monthValue": 5,
"year": 2016
},
but what I really want is
"date": "2016-05-19"
I have tried to find the solution in the Grails documentation, however, even after searching for the answer multiple times I can't seem to figure it out. I have found documentation on formatting java.util.Date, however this is not what I want.
The "problem" is not very much with the GET request, but for POST and PUT requests it is not practical, so I need to get the short-format yyyy-MM-dd working.
Has anyone found a solution to this?
