[FIXED] How to get Date input value from thymeleaf to MySQL in Spring Boot Application Java?

Issue

I want to get input value from Spring Boot Application thymeleaf(HTML) to MySQL Database in format Date. But I get this error message : "Failed to convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'java.sql.Date'".

This is my Controller path code below. Thanks in advance.

@GetMapping("/saveApplication")
    public String saveApplication(@RequestParam(name="name", required = false) String name,
            @RequestParam(name="surname", required = false) String surname,
            @RequestParam(name="place", required = false) String place,
            @RequestParam(name="start", required = false) @DateTimeFormat(pattern = "dd.MM.yyyy") Date start,
            @RequestParam(name="end", required = false) @DateTimeFormat(pattern = "dd.MM.yyyy") Date end,
            @RequestParam(name="identity", required = false) Integer identity,
            @RequestParam(name="tel", required = false) Integer tel,
            Model model) 
    {

        final Integer id = 1;
        
        
        String sql = "INSERT INTO `user`.`application` (`kullaniciid`, `name`, `surname`, `place`,`start`, `end`,`identity`,`tel`) VALUES ( ?, ?, ?,  ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
        
        jdbcTemplate.update(sql, id,name, surname, place,start, end,identity,tel);
        
        
        return "screen3";
    }

Solution

I fixed it change @DateTimeFormat to @Date and import Date.
