Hi, I am using spring and hibernate along with my different components

There is date field in DB as contract_end_date as a Date , so my pojo also contains date getter setter for contract_end_date, but when i submit form to Multiaction controller it gives data bindding exception for contract_end_date. It trying to search string getter setter for contract_end_date.

So is there is any solution to handle this kind of problem. This is my pojo.

after sumitting the form getting data binding exception

public class Clnt implements java.io.Serializable {

    private String clntId;
    private String clntNm;
    private String busUnitNm;
    private String statCd;
    private String cmntTx;
    private Date contractEndDt;

}
