Thymeleaf输入type =“ date”无法显示和更新

Question

我找不到在datbase中显示“生日”字段的正确方法！ 即使当我尝试将新值提交给db时，它也不起作用。我在做什么错了？

这是我的代码：

控制器

@RequestMapping(value = {"/settings"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView settings() {
        ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView();

         model.addObject("user", user);
         model.addObject("countries", getListOfCountries());
         model.setViewName("user/settings");

        return model;
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = {"/settings"}, method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public ModelAndView updateUserGeneralSettings(@ModelAttribute User user) {

        ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView();
        userService.update(user);

        model.addObject("user", user);
        model.addObject("countries", getListOfCountries());


        model.setViewName("user/settings");
        return model;
    }

HTML

   <form method="POST" th:action="@{/settings}" th:object="${user}">
    <div>
    </div>
    ...
    ...

    <div class="costum-field">
        <label for="dateOfBirth" th:text="#{field.dateOfBirth}"></label>
        <input type="date" id="dateOfBirth" class="form-control" th:field="*{dateOfBirth}"/>
    </div>
    ...
    ...
    <div>
    </div>
    </form

在浏览器中查看

因此，如您所见，所有字段均正常工作。请提出我的错误。
