Answer 1

You can add a transient long field and use it like below inside your Organization entity class.

public class Organization {

    --------------
    --------------

    @Transient
    private long lastModifiedMili;

    public long getLastModifiedMili() {
        return lastModified.getTime();
    }

    public void setLastModifiedMili(long lastModifiedMili) {
        this.lastModifiedMili = lastModifiedMili;
        this.lastModified = new Date(lastModifiedMili);
    }

    public Organization(Long id, String name, String address, long lastModifiedMili) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name=name;
        this.address = address;
        this.lastModifiedMili = lastModifiedMili;
        this.lastModified = new Date(lastModifiedMili);
    }
}

And inside your form use this:

<form:hidden path="lastModifiedMili" />
