How to change timestamp field format for ResponseEntity?

My API returns response body using org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity

I need to change the timestamp field format to a specific format.

What is the property to use in my application.properties file ?

I tried to find it over the web and I found references for other 3rd party lib and not for spring.

And if I can also define the message field in some other format I could be great.

Current response body:

{
  "timestamp": "Oct 2, 2019 3:24:32 PM",
  "status": 200,
  "error": "OK",
  "message": "Initialization failed. cfgId doesn't exist",
  "path": "/a/b/c/d/init"
}

I'm not using any 3rd party library in order to return the json, it's only org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity

I'm looking for a general solution and not per field. I want an application.properties value to fix it.

You can also use @JsonFormat in Jackson

@JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd")
public Date getCurrentDate() {
    return new Date();
}
