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

The question I have is how do I make the call from javascript - as in what should the URL look like

for eg. - /getRecords?userID=1&fromDate=06022013&toDate=08022013'

Do I need a way to parse the date so Spring can recognize it?

Can you share the code you have used to compare two dates? – rachana Jul 02 '15 at 06:03 — rachana, Jul 02 '15 at 06:03

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) {

I couldn't find `@Dateformat` in spring, but I did find `@DateTimeFormat` like @dannrob says. – Jim Jul 17 '13 at 17:43

Oh, and this has bitten me before `"mm"` in java date time formats is MINUTES and `"MM"` is MONTHS. – Jim Jul 17 '13 at 19:34
+1 for Jim.. Also couldn't find `@DateFormat`, but `@DateTimeFormat`. – Aritz Sep 24 '14 at 14:56

FWIW, I had to add `@DateTimeFormat(pattern="MMddyyyy")`. Answer given [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/15164985/777980) – Wisco crew Jan 20 '15 at 19:37

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

Yes! Complementing this answer: It does looks much better like this: @RequestParam(value = "onDate") @DateTimeFormat(iso = DateTimeFormat.ISO.DATE) LocalDate onDate, – imTachu Apr 27 '16 at 13:30

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) {
    ...
}

@DateTimeFormat was valid for me as an option, but I had to also specifically add the pattern attribute to the annotation – TheIcemanCometh Jun 25 '15 at 13:35

Better to use `@DateTimeFormat(iso = DateTimeFormat.ISO.DATE)`. – BamaPookie Jan 24 '19 at 17:47

You should use your application.properties (or any other project properties) and set the environment variable spring.mvc.format.date.
