I'm trying to show in a Spring <form:input> element a Date, that is a field of a POJO saved on the Db.

This is my POJO

import java.sql.Date;
import org.springframework.format.annotation.DateTimeFormat;

@Component
@MappedSuperclass
public class Persona implements Serializable{           
    ....
    @Column(name="data_di_nascita", nullable=false, updatable=true)
    @DateTimeFormat(pattern="yyyy/MM/dd")
    private Date dataDiNascita;
    ....
}

This is my jsp page 

<form:form modelAttribute="persona">
...
   Data di nascista<form:input path="dataDiNascita"/><br/>
...
</form:form>

This is the error I get

      org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionFailedException: Failed to convert from type @javax.persistence.Column @org.springframework.format.annotation.DateTimeFormat java.sql.Date to type java.lang.String for value '1978-07-01'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: JodaTime library not available - @DateTimeFormat not supported

  • Yes, I'm using Spring MVC. I didn't put the code of the controller because there I don't do anything; I just "add" my pojo to the "model" Commented Nov 24, 2015 at 9:24

From the Exception JodaTime library not available - @DateTimeFormat not supported, it is clear that the joda-time jar is missing in the build path.

Please add the Joda-time lib to build path or to your dependency list if you are using maven.

The API doc clearly mentions that @DateTimeFormat supports formatting by style pattern, ISO date time pattern, or custom format pattern string. Can be applied to java.util.Date, java.util.Calendar, java.long.Long, Joda-Time value types; and as of Spring 4 and JDK 8, to JSR-310 java.time types too.

Please do not use @DateTimeFormat with java.sql.Date since it is not supported.

I added joda-tima-2.2.jar and turned java.sql.Date into java.util.Date.,but I keep on getting "JodaTime library not available". Do I need a specific versione of Joda-time since I'm using Spring and Hibernate?
Which version of Spring you are using?
Spring version is 3.1.4
You know what? If I put Joda-time library in my application LIB folder, I get the error. If i put the library inside Apache lib folder it works... Why?
The jars which are present in the WebContent\ WEB-INF\lib are used during the runtime in a dynamic web project. You can google out to find the way to customize this. But in maven you can configure this easily.
