Spring DateTimeFormat is not working with jQuery UI Datepicker

Below is the code for datepicker on an input element with id as endDate

 $('#endDate').datepicker({
     changeMonth: true,
     changeYear: true,
     dateFormat: 'mm/yy',
  });

It removes the date part and only month and year is shown in the format of 'MM/YYYY'.

I have binded this element to a beans property as shown below.

<form:input id="endDate" onkeydown="return false;" readonly="readonly" path = "endDate" />

In the beans property i have used org.springframework.format.annotation.DateTimeFormat as shown below

@DateTimeFormat(pattern = "MM/yyyy") 
private Date endDate;

The datepicker works fine as expected, however i get the following exception when form is submitted to controller.

org.springframework.validation.BindException: org.springframework.validation.BeanPropertyBindingResult: 2 errors
Field error in object 'SpringWeb' on field 'endDate': rejected value [12/2014]; codes [typeMismatch.SpringWeb.endDate,typeMismatch.endDate,typeMismatch.java.util.Date,typeMismatch]; arguments [org.springframework.context.support.DefaultMessageSourceResolvable: codes [SpringWeb.endDate,endDate]; arguments []; default message [endDate]]; default message [Failed to convert property value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'java.util.Date' for property 'endDate'; nested exception is org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionFailedException: Unable to convert value "12/2014" from type 'java.lang.String' to type 'java.util.Date'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format: "12/2014" is malformed at "14"]

To solve this problem I implemented a InitBinder method in the controller, registering a custom editor for the specific field:

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

From your stacktrace you can see message Invalid format: "12/2014" is malformed at "14" You need to change your pattern for private Date endDate from "MM/yyyy" to "MM/yy" because yyyy means year expressed in 4 digits like 2014 however you are passing year in 2 digits 14
