How to convert bootstrap datetimepicker string to java datetime - angularjs

Question

angular controller
$http({
method: 'POST',
url: '/Eatery/save',
contentType:'application/json',
dataType:'json',
data:resvnCtrl.user
})
Spring mvc controller
#RequestMapping(value="/save",method=RequestMethod.POST,consumes=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE,produces=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
#ResponseBody
public int save(#RequestBody Reservation reservation) {
System.out.println(reservation.getTime());
return reservationRepo.save(reservation);
}
Java model
#Entity
#Table(name="reservations")
public class Reservation implements Serializable{
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private int id;
private String cnf;
private String name;
private String email;
private String phone;
#JsonDeserialize(using=CustomJsonDateDeserializer.class)
private LocalDateTime time;
private int seats;
private String note;
public Reservation() { }
public Reservation(String cnf, String name, String email, String phone,
LocalDateTime time, int seats, String note) {
this.cnf = cnf;
this.name = name;
this.email = email;
this.phone = phone;
this.time = time;
this.seats = seats;
this.note = note;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getCnf() {
return cnf;
}
public void setCnf(String cnf) {
this.cnf = cnf;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
public String getPhone() {
return phone;
}
public void setPhone(String phone) {
this.phone = phone;
}
public LocalDateTime getTime() {
return time;
}
public void setTime(LocalDateTime time) {
this.time = time;
}
public int getSeats() {
return seats;
}
public void setSeats(int seats) {
this.seats = seats;
}
public String getNote() {
return note;
}
public void setNote(String note) {
this.note = note;
}
}
From browser console
email: "kerhb#regerg.e"
name: "kjergk"
note: "wefwef"
phone: "1234567899"
seats: 2
time: "10/23/2015 5:53 PM"
Custom date deserializer
public class CustomJsonDateDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<Date>
{
#Override
public Date deserialize(JsonParser jsonparser,
DeserializationContext deserializationcontext) throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
String date = jsonparser.getText();
try {
return format.parse(date);
} catch (ParseException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
I have a bootstrap datetimepicker on UI and a java REST webservice at the backend. when i send date select, i got "The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect.". the datetime string which is sent did not map to the java model. can someone spot my error

Answer 1

#Marged is rigth saying that you didn't cover AM/PM in your date pattern. The proper patter would be yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm a. Note also that you don't need a custom deserializer for this, can rather use #DateTimeFormat
#DateTimeFormat(pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm a")
private LocalDateTime time;
