Execution Exception with @inputDate when call form.get() method

Question

I have a input of date type. The attribute is like this:

@Formats.DateTime(pattern="dd/MM/yyyy")
public Date prazo;

In the *.scala.html file, I tried this:

@helper.input(pedidoForm("prazo"), '_label -> "Prazo", '_help -> "") { (id, name, value, args) => 
    <input type="date" name="@name" id="@id" maxlength="14" @toHtmlArgs(args)>
}

and

@inputDate(pedidoForm("prazo"), '_label -> "Prazo", '_help -> "")

It compiles and seems to work fine, but in the controller I have something like:

Form<Pedido> pedidoForm = form(Pedido.class).bindFromRequest();
...
pedidoForm.get(); // throws execution exception

Does anyone have an idea of what can be happening??

Thanks for the attention.

Answer 1

I think you have entered wrong format for date input.

Form what I have tried. If you entered 22/03/1989 as value of input, there is no runtime exception. But if you entered 22 03 1989, the exception is occurred. I think it is because you define the prazo field as dd/MM/yyyy date format.

So let's we look again. If you define the prazo field as dd MM yyyy date format, and you entered value 22 03 1989 as value of input, there is no runtime exception. In addition, there something that interested me, if you entered 22/03/1989 there is no runtime exception too. But, with the date you entered previously, it cannot be parsed correctly.

In this stage, I think the framework accept value like dd/MM/yyyy as a Date object. But if you want other date format displayed or entered the @Formats.DateTime(pattern="dd MM yyyy") annotation should be used.
