错误：无法将类型java.lang.String的属性值转换为属性dob的必需类型java.util.Date？

Question

I am trying simple Spring-MVC application for form validations. I am facing an issue while taking date input from browser. The error is:

"Failed to convert property value of type java.lang.String to required type java.util.Date for property dob; 
nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not parse date: Unparseable date: "2015-12-25"

This problem I am facing in Google Chrome browser only. In internet explorer and eclipse interface its working fine. I am using Chrome-40.0.2214.115m.

I am sharing part of my code here:

From Controller file:

...
@InitBinder     
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder){
     SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
     binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class,new CustomDateEditor(dateFormat, false));   
}
...

From JSP file:

...
<tr>
<td><label for="dob">DOB</label></td>
<td><input type="date" name="dob" /></td>
<td><form:errors path="person1.dob" /></td>
</tr>
...

If there is problem with browser compatibility, then what is the solution for it? Please help me to solve this issue.

Answer 1

Input tag date format is always like YYYY-MM-DD . So change your format pattern while formatting to SimpleDateFormat with this yyyy-MM-dd .

So try this one

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
