  1. POjava.util.Date in Spring Data Rest
    text
    copied!<p>I'm using a java.util.Date in spring(3.1) data REST. How can I get the date to print in a human readable form? (e.g. MM/DD/YYYY)?</p> <pre><code>@Entity public class MyEntity{ ... @Column(name="A_DATE_COLUMN") @DateTimeFormat(iso=ISO.DATE) private Date aDate; ..getters and setters } </code></pre> <p>However when i print my entity(after overriding toString), I'm always getting the date as a long. It seems like @DateTimeFormat does not change the behaviour. I also tried different iso formats and that didnt help either.</p> <pre><code>"aDate" : 1320130800000 </code></pre> <p>Here is my POM file entry for the spring data rest </p> <pre><code>&lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.data&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-data-rest-webmvc&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;1.0.0.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt; &lt;exclusions&gt; &lt;exclusion&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;slf4j-log4j12&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;/exclusion&gt; &lt;exclusion&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;commons-logging&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;commons-logging&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;/exclusion&gt; &lt;/exclusions&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;joda-time&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;joda-time&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;2.1&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any help is much appeciated. PS. Here is the toString Implementation</p> <pre><code>@Override public String toString() { return getClass().getName() + "{"+ "\n\taDate: " + aDate + "\n}"; } </code></pre>
