I'm learning Kotlin, doing a simple API Rest with Spring Boot. My problem is that I'm trying to use LocalDateTime as @RequestParam but it just not working as it does in Java. This is my code:
import org.springframework.format.annotation.DateTimeFormat
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController
import java.time.LocalDateTime
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/flights")
class FlightController(private val flightService : FlightService) {
@GetMapping
fun getFlights(@RequestParam @DateTimeFormat(pattern = "hh:mma") departure : LocalDateTime?): List<Flight> {
return flightService.getFlights()
}
}
When I do an HTTP call this is the error I see in the console:
Resolved [org.springframework.web.method.annotation.MethodArgumentTypeMismatchException: Failed to convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'java.time.LocalDateTime'; nested exception is org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionFailedException: Failed to convert from type [java.lang.String] to type [@org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam @org.springframework.format.annotation.DateTimeFormat java.time.LocalDateTime] for value '09:00am'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parse attempt failed for value [09:00am]]
(In this case, I tried 09:00am as RequestParam)
I think it is a problem with Jackson not being able to parse the JSON to LocalDateTime, anybody knows if there is a solution? Thank you guys

A time-of-day alone is not enough information to instantiate a LocalDateTime. That class represents a date with a time-of-day. You are missing the date portion.
You commented that you tried using LocalTime but failed. I am guessing that your string inputs do not match the format used for the AM/PM indicators expected by by your JVM’s current default Locale. Various cultures may use “am”, “AM”, “A.M.”, or something else. Solutions include:
Locale explicitly rather than rely implicitly on the JVM’s current default locale.23:45 and 03:27.I suggest you practice using the java.time classes in some simple throwaway code, without the complexities of Spring.
Date-time handling is not as simple and trivial a matter as you may intuit. Indeed, your intuitive quotidian understanding of date-time is a hindrance, such as leading you to use to AM/PM rather than using 24-hour clock. Take time to search Stack Overflow to learn more about java.time classes.
