How can I insert a Date attribute in Mysql DB using Spring boot-CodePudding

please I need your help, I have been trying to add a Date field into DB using SpringBoot and JPA, but when I try to do it inserts the data in null, I mean, all other fields are recognized well using Json, but Date field in null. I have found other questions about it but I have not been able to solve it yet. I also tryied changing anotation above Date field and no luck. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

From my Entity "Member"

@JsonFormat(pattern="yyyy-MM-dd")
@Column(name = "birth_day")
private Date birth_day;

From my controller

@PostMapping()
@ResponseStatus(value = HttpStatus.CREATED)
public ResponseEntity<Member> save(@Validated @RequestBody Member input) {
    memberRepository.save(input);
    return ResponseEntity.ok().body(input);
}

This is the Json I create and pass through the body

{
    "name": "test",
    "last_name": "test",
    "phone": "test",
    "birth_day": "1991-04-05",
    "home_address": "test"
}

And this is the response I get

{
    "id": 12,
    "name": "test",
    "last_name": "test",
    "phone": "test",
    "birth_day": null,
    "home_address": "test"
 }

For what I can see, the rest of the fields created with no problem, but the field birth_day is a null DateTime in DB.

By the way I am using Mysql 5.7.22 and Java 11

The @JsonFormat for Dates annotation needs also the shape parameter as shown here. So the snippet to use is

@JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern="yyyy-MM-dd")
@Column(name = "birth_day")
private Date birth_day;
