Java Date field not shown properly in postman

Question

Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated it.. I am using Spring Boot 2:56 The date and time show properly for field "transactionDate" field when debugging the code in intellij: 2023-01-15 23.35:05.0

enter image description here

Code:

public List < TransactionEntity > findByFromAccountIdOrToAccountId(Long accountId) {
   AccountEntity account = accountRepository.findByAccountId(accountId);
   if (account == null) {
       throw new AccountException("account cannot be found in account table accountId:" + accountId);
   }

   List < TransactionEntity > list = transactionRepository.findByFromAccountOrToAccount(account, account);
   return list;
}

TransactionEntity.java
private Timestamp transactionDate;

For the transactionDate field I used import java.sql.Timestamp; In postman it is showing: "transactionDate": 1673843714000,

How can I show the proper date and time in postman result such as "2023-01-15 23:35:05.0".

Answer 1

"transactionDate": 1673843714000

This is how Timestamp looks like. If you want to show like you mention use LocalDateTime instead.

private LocalDateTime transactionDate;

Or convert

transactionDate.toLocalDateTime().toLocalDate()
