  1. I wanted to bind the spring date field to the pojo class and return the date
  2. The dateOfbirth is of type java.sql.Date . Now when i pass the date from spring form to the function setDateOfBirth ,it is taking null value

For example in register.jsp (Registration form) I have the particular field 

<form:label path="DateOfBirth">DateOfBirth</form:label>
<form:input path="DateOfBirth" type="date"/>

Register.java (Pojo class)

 public void setDateOfBirth(Date dateOfBirth) {
   this.dateOfBirth = dateOfBirth   ;
 }

 public void getDateOfBirth() {
   return this.dateOfBirth;
 }

when I call getDateOfBirth()
returns: Sat Dec 12 00:00:00 IST 1992 

Input :- 12/12/1992

Expected Output :- 12/12/1992

What I get: null

Please help me how to convert this ?

  • you should be using a String rather than date in that case as for Date it should be date not some formatted Date. To get formatted date use SimpleDateFormat or jstl tags on views. – Vinay Prajapati Nov 17 '15 at 08:01

Try to add @DateTimeFormat(pattern = "dd/MM/yyyy") to your dateOfBirth in Register.java

@DateTimeFormat(pattern = "dd/MM/yyyy")
private Date dateOfBirth;
