Spring MVC: Convert String Date into Date over REST endpoint

Question

I'm working on Spring boot project and I want to convert a String date coming from a post request

D,100000001028686,BA0884,72087000000176,N,2,147568593,DEPOSITREFERENCE,2020-08-05 20:17:33.32691, 601123,ZAR,2500,57,24,i10c=0,i20c=2,i50c=5,iR1=2,iR2=5,iR5=8,iR10=200,iR20=1,iR50=55,iR100=60,iR200=82,0,0,0,0,000

The date that I want to convert is in Bold and need to convert that part from a @PostMapping method request parameter into one of the java.time Objects.

After searching I found some solution for the data if self without using Spring but it did not work for me and used java.util.Date, here the code I wrote so far

    class Main {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
        String date = "2020-08-05 20:18:33.32692";
        System.out.println(covertDate(date)); //Wed Aug 05 20:19:05 UTC 2020
      }
    
       public static Date covertDate(String date) throws ParseException {
            SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSS");
            return formatter.parse(date);
        }
    }

The response I got is not what I'm looking for, is there any way to solve the problem

Answer 1

Here the solution I found after searching for future I used Java 8 API to solve it

 class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
    String sDate6 = "2020-08-05 11:50:55.555";
    System.out.println(covertDate(sDate6)); //2020-08-05T11:50:55.555
  }

   public static LocalDateTime covertDate(String date) throws ParseException {
         DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS", Locale.ENGLISH);
         LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(date,formatter);
         return dateTime;  
    }
}
