spring boot mongodb json parse string as a date error

Question

I am new to spring-boot. I am using spring-boot version 2.0.5. I am trying to create an application which uses mongodb as it's database. I have managed to create connection from my application to mongo server. To query my document, I have a 'timestamp' field which I use with '$lt' compactor in query.

For some reason, I always get 'org.bson.json.JsonParseException: Failed to parse string as a date' error.

My Controller Function looks like:

@GetMapping("/get/timestamp/{timestamp}")
public List<NEWSCollection> getByTimestamp(@PathVariable("timestamp") String timestamp) throws Exception {
    Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'+0000'").parse(timestamp);
    List<NEWSCollection> NEWSList = this.newsRepository.findAllByTimestamp(timestamp);
    return NEWSList;
}

And my repository 'findAllByTimestamp' function look like:

@Query("{ 'timestamp' : { $lt: {$date:'?0'} } }")
List<NEWSCollection> findAllByTimestamp(String timestamp);

My Model has 'timestamp' field declared as:

@Indexed(direction = IndexDirection.DESCENDING)
@DateTimeFormat(iso = DateTimeFormat.ISO.DATE_TIME)
private Date timestamp;

The Error log:

Thanks For help in advance. And pardon my English.

Answer 1

Your repository should accept date not string.

List<NEWSCollection> findAllByTimestamp(Date timestamp);
