Ok, I solved it.
Writing it for anyone who might be tired after a full day of non-stop coding & miss such a silly thing.
@RequestMapping(value="/fetch" , method=RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody String fetchResult(@RequestParam("from") @DateTimeFormat(pattern="yyyy-MM-dd") Date fromDate) {
//Content goes here
}
Yes, it’s simple. Just add the DateTimeFormat annotation.
