Hi Nathan,
This error usually happens when the form controller is not able to convert a
string representation of the object to the real object. Property editors are
used for this and spring doesn't support joda-time out of the box, so you
have to implement your own.
The error that you have says that the string "2008-12-02T00:00:00.000-08:00"
cannot be converted to a DateTime object. When you have a request spring
controllers do a lot magic behind the scenes such as data binding, and it is
here were the property editors are used.
Do you have a custom property editor for DateTime in the initBinder method?
You say you can save and update when you run "mvn jetty:run" check the
format of the string for the lastUpdated field, maybe is just a matter of
how the string is getting formatted in your test method.
I hope it helps,
Fabio
