Spring MVC 4 + Jackson + LocalDate

Question

I am using Spring MVC 4 with Jackson API for databinding and I am having some issues while using Java 8 Dates, like LocalDate and LocalTime.

Here is my Ajax:

var response = $.ajax({
 url: 'parcela',
 method: 'POST',
 data: {
 formaPagamentoPrazo: this.prazo.val(),
 moedaPagamento: this.moeda.val(),
 quantidadeParcelas: this.quantidade.val(),
 dataPrimeiraParcela: this.dataPrimeiraParcela.val(),
 valorTotalVenda: this.valorTotalVenda.html(),
 uuid: this.uuid
 }
});`

Here is my Controller:

@PostMapping("/parcela")
public ModelAndView gerarParcelasVenda(String     formaPagamentoPrazo,MoedaPagamento moedaPagamento, Integer quantidadeParcelas, 
 LocalDate dataPrimeiraParcela, BigDecimal valorTotalVenda, String uuid) {}

I am getting this error:

Answer 1

Add the jackson java 8 time module to your classpath.

Maven dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-datatype-jsr310</artifactId>
    <version>2.8.6</version>
</dependency>

Documentation in the github repository.

Answer 2

add @RequestParam(required = false) in LocalDate dataPrimeiraParcela
