Failed to convert property value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'java.util.Date' for pr

Failed to convert property value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'java.util.Date' for property XXX

原因：我的Controller中需要接收的是Date类型，但是在页面传过来的时间是String类型。前端表单包含时间的字符串传进去，转换成日期时报错了

解决：在Controller中加入

    @InitBinder   
    public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {   
        DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");   
        dateFormat.setLenient(true);   
        binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(dateFormat, true));   
    }  

或者

@InitBinder
protected void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(dateFormat, true));
}
