    String param_error = null;

Answer 1

You need to have

@InitBinder
    public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
        dateFormat.setLenient(false);
        binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(dateFormat, true));
    }

and instead of “sql.date” use “util.date”

Also try by removing property “readonly”
