Handling with LocalDate issues in Spring Boot.

If you have LocalDate field in your entities you can get errors like:

Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] 

threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is 

org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaSystemException: could not deserialize; 

nested exception is org.hibernate.type.SerializationException: 

could not deserialize] with root cause

or:

Failed to read HTTP message: 

org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: 

Could not read document: Can not construct instance of java.time.LocalDate: 

no suitable constructor found, can not deserialize from Object value 

(missing default constructor or creator, or perhaps need to add/enable type 

information?)


nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: 

Can not construct instance of java.time.LocalDate: 

no suitable constructor found, can not deserialize from Object value 

(missing default constructor or creator, or perhaps need to add/enable 

type information?)

To solve that, insert in pom.xml:

                <dependency>
   <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
   <artifactId>hibernate-java8</artifactId>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
   <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype</groupId>
   <artifactId>jackson-datatype-jsr310</artifactId>
   </dependency>
