This is what I did to get formatted date from front end

  @RequestMapping(value = "/{dateString}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
  @ResponseBody
  public HttpStatus getSomething(@PathVariable @DateTimeFormat(iso = DateTimeFormat.ISO.DATE) String dateString) {
   return OK;
  }

You can use it to get what you want.

If you want to use a PathVariable  you can use an example method below  all methods are and do the same      You can consume the path     users added-since1 2019-04-25  GetMapping   users added-since1  since    public String userAddedSince1  PathVariable  since    DateTimeFormat pattern    yyyy-MM-dd   Date since        return  Date      since toString      The output is  Date  Thu Apr 25 00 00 00 COT 2019       You can consume the path     users added-since2 2019-04-25  RequestMapping   users added-since2  since    public String userAddedSince2  PathVariable  since    DateTimeFormat iso   DateTimeFormat ISO DATE  Date since        return  Date      since toString      The output is  Date  Wed Apr 24 19 00 00 COT 2019       You can consume the path     users added-since3 2019-04-25  RequestMapping   users added-since3  since    public String userAddedSince3  PathVariable  since    DateTimeFormat pattern    yyyy-MM-dd   Date since        return  Date      since toString      The output is  Date  Thu Apr 25 00 00 00 COT 2019

or you can do it the right way and have a coherent rule for serialisation deserialisation of dates all across your application  put this in application properties   spring mvc date-format yyyy-MM-dd
