解决：Failed to convert value of type ‘java.lang.String‘ to required type ‘java.util.Date‘；

发生这一错误的主要原因是Controller类中需要接收的是Date类型，但是在页面端传过来的是String类型，最终导致了这个错误。

这里提供两种解决方案，一种是局部转换，一种是全局转换。

<form action="login.do" method="post">
		<input type="text" name="birthday" value="2017-07-12 22:04:00">
		<input type="submit" value="提交">
	</form>

一.局部转换

@Controller
public class UserController{
	
	@RequestMapping(value="/login.do")
	public String login(String username,Date birthday){
		System.out.println("________");
		return "";
	}
 
        //只需要加上下面这段即可，注意不能忘记注解
	@InitBinder
	public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder, WebRequest request) {
		
		//转换日期
		DateFormat dateFormat=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
		binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(dateFormat, true));// CustomDateEditor为自定义日期编辑器
	}
}

二.全局转换
1.创建CustomDate类实现WebBindingInitializer

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.CustomDateEditor;
import org.springframework.web.bind.WebDataBinder;
import org.springframework.web.bind.support.WebBindingInitializer;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest;
 
/**
 * @作者：JackHisen(GWD)
 * @项目名：shoppingmall
 * @时间：2017-7-12 下午10:39:10
 * @version 1.0
 */
public class CustomDate implements WebBindingInitializer{
 
	@Override
	public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder, WebRequest request) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		//转换日期
		DateFormat dateFormat=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
		binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(dateFormat, true));
	}
}

2.在Spring-MVC.xml中配置日期转换

	<!-- 日期转换 -->

</beans>
