Solution 1:

Bean validation doesn't matter, you should use Thymeleaf formatting:

<td th:text="${#dates.format(sprint.releaseDate, 'dd-MMM-yyyy')}"></td>

Also make sure your releaseDate property is java.util.Date.

Output will be like: 04-Oct-2016

Solution 2:

If you want to use converters in th:text attributes, you have to use double-bracket syntax.

<td th:text="${{sprint.releaseDate}}"></td>

(They are automatically applied to th:field attributes)

Solution 3:

If you want show por example = 20-11-2017

You can use:

 th:text="${#temporals.format(notice.date,'dd-MM-yyyy')}

Solution 4:

you should use Thymeleaf formatting milliseconds

<td th:text="${#dates.format(new java.util.Date(transaction.documentDate), 'dd-MMM-yy')}"></td>
