java - BeanUtills Date conversion Issue -

i tried copy data(java.util.date) value source target using beanutills. gives date string conversion exception.

what solution kind of issue?

my implementation follows..

 import java.util.date;   public class bean1 {   private date date;   public bean1() {     }   public date getdate() {    return date;    }   public void setdate(date date) {    this.date = date;    }  } 

===========================================================

import java.util.date;  public class bean2 {  private date date;  public bean2() {  }  public date getdate() {     return date; }  public void setdate(date date) {     this.date = date; } 

}

===========================================================

my copy property method follows

    public static void copyproperties(object src, object dest) throws   llegalaccessexception,invocationtargetexception, nosuchmethodexception {          field[] attributes = dest.getclass().getdeclaredfields();          (field property : attributes) {                          beanutils.setproperty(dest, property.getname(), beanutils.getproperty(                 src, property.getname()));     } } 

the latest version of beanutils not support direct copy of date properties. you'd need implement converter (also part of benutils package) , use converter copy properties method. avoid errors resulting in differences in format of date properties in 2 objects. following work you

    public static void copyproperties(object arg0, object arg1)              throws illegalaccessexception, invocationtargetexception {         java.util.date defaultvalue = null;         converter converter = new dateconverter(defaultvalue);         beanutilsbean beanutilsbean = beanutilsbean.getinstance();          beanutilsbean.getconvertutils().register(converter, java.util.date.class);         beanutilsbean.copyproperties(arg0, arg1);     } 

i suggest using propertyutils if sure date format in both of objects remain same. need use converters if there chance date format of date properties on src , destination may different.
