"MappingException: No property null found on entity class java.time.OffsetDateTime to bind constructor parameter to!" with Spring MongoDB

Question

Trying to use the new java.time.OffsetDateTime object with MongoDB. I'm using org.springframework.data:spring-data-mongodb:1.8.2.RELEASE. It seems to be able to write to the DB fine, but when I try to read the data, it throws the below exception. If I instead change my object to just LocalDateTime, it is able to read/write to the DB successfully. Is there additional configuration I need to do to add support for the OffsetDateTime object?

Take a look at this: stackoverflow.com/questions/22972679/…. Looks like the issue was fixes for LocalDateTime, but may be not for OffsetDateTime — jny

So it seems the current JSR-310 support only works with non-time-zoned date objects. That would explain why OffsetDateTime was not working.

https://spring.io/blog/2015/03/26/what-s-new-in-spring-data-fowler

This setup will make sure that both your application package and the Spring Data JPA one for the JSR-310 converters will be scanned and handed to the persistence provider. Find a complete example for that in our Spring Data Examples repository. Note, that due to the fact that the converter simply converts the JSR-310 types to legacy Date instances, only non-time-zoned (e.g. LocalDateTime etc.) are supported.

I was able to work-around this by falling back to using the Joda DateTime object. I had to do the following:

Add compile('com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-joda:2.6.3') to gradle.build file.
Add spring.jackson.serialization.write_dates_as_timestamps=false to application.properties file to make the outputs human-readable.
import org.joda.time.DateTime; and use this instead of OffsetDateTime
