Answer 1

Add com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype-jsr310 dependency

Then configure Jackson2ObjectMapper with

 @Bean(name = "OBJECT_MAPPER_BEAN")
    public ObjectMapper jsonObjectMapper() {
        return Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder.json()
                .serializationInclusion(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL) // Don’t include null values
                .featuresToDisable(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS) //ISODate
                .modules(new JSR310Module())
                .build();
    }
