I found a work around but with this I’ll need to annotate each date’s setter throughout the project. Is there a way in which I can specify the format while creating the ObjectMapper?
Here’s what I did:
public class CustomJsonDateDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<Date>
{
@Override
public Date deserialize(JsonParser jsonParser,
DeserializationContext deserializationContext) throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
String date = jsonParser.getText();
try {
return format.parse(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
And annotated each Date field’s setter method with this:
@JsonDeserialize(using = CustomJsonDateDeserializer.class)
