java date returning different date on client

[Sonam Samdupkhangsar <So...@imail.org>]

I have a jaxrs service that returns a JPA entity called Person with a "dob" property of type java.util.Date.  On the service side, the date is
dob=2015-03-20

However, on the client side, it comes across as
dob=Thu Mar 19 18:00:00 MDT 2015


The following is my jaxrs client config with service call:

@Autowired
       private JacksonJsonProvider provider;

@Test
       public void manaulFindOrderById() {
              logger.info("testing for manual person retrieval via jaxrs client");
              Long personId = 6011L;
              List<Object> providers = new ArrayList<Object>();
              providers.add(new JacksonJsonProvider());
              logger.debug("creating jaxrs client");
              MyWebService myWebService = JAXRSClientFactory.create(
                           ENDPOINT_ADDRESS, MyWebService.class, providers);

              Person person = myWebService.getPersonById(personId);
              logger.info("found person {}", person);
       }


Don't know if it's something to with the JacksonJsonProvider.

Thanks

How do you format those dates in JSON?

I have stuff like this in the service:

    @JsonFormat(shape=JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern="dd.MM.yyyy")
    @JsonProperty(value = "startDate", required = true)
    private Date startDate;

Do the server & client use same format?
