I've been trying to use:

@RequestMapping(value="/consultaporusuarioperiodo/{idusuario}/{datainicio}/{datafim}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String consultaPorPeriodoUsuario(
        @PathVariable("idusuario") Long idUsuario,
        @PathVariable("datainicio") Date dataInicio,
        @PathVariable("datafim") Date dataFim
        ,Model model) {
    Usuario usuario = usuarioService.buscaPorId(idUsuario);
    model.addAttribute("timesheet",timeSheetService.buscaPorPeriodoPorUsuario(dataInicio, dataFim,usuario));
    return "timesheetcrud/consultatimesheet";
}

with this link:

http://localhost:8080/timesheet/consultaporusuarioperiodo/1/21012000/22012000

but I get this error:

HTTP Status 400 -

type Status report

message

description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect ().

Apache Tomcat/7.0.27

when I change to:

        @PathVariable("datainicio") String dataInicio,
        @PathVariable("datafim") String dataFim

It's work. What can I do to work with Date ?

thanks
