Conversion support for java.time.YearMonth (as well as MonthDay) [SPR-13518]

[spring-projects-issues]

Kazuki Shimizu opened SPR-13518 and commented

I hope to support the java.time.YearMonth class in type conversion service.

For example:

@RequestMapping("/timecards")
@Controller
public class TimecardController {
        @Autowired
        TimecardService timecardService;

	@RequestMapping(path = "{targetMonth}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public String viewDetail(@DateTimeFormat(pattern = "yyyyMM") @PathVariable YearMonth targetMonth, Model model) {
                Timecard timecard = timecardService.getTimecard(targetMonth);
		model.addAttribute(timecard);
		return "timecard/detail";
	}
}

How do think ?

Indeed, in the Spring 4.3 timeframe, we should try to support YearMonth as well as MonthDay, not only in their Java 8 java.time incarnations but also with Joda-Time.

I'm considering this for 4.2.4 now, following up on #18294 / #11372 which deal with Period and Duration.
