spring - @DateTimeFormat Spring 3 を適切に構成できません

Question

UIで日付を提供するためにjquery日付ピッカーを使用しています。そしてdateFormatを次のように述べました

$( "#validFrmDt" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy" });

以下の必須形式: 例: 30-09-2013

私のSpring MVCモデルクラスでは、このフォーマットを私の java.util.Date プロパティにバインドしたいので、以下のように設定しました:

@DateTimeFormat(pattern = "dd-MM-yyyy")
private Date validFromDate;

しかし、残念ながら私は以下の例外を受けています:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet mvc-dispatcher threw exception
org.springframework.validation.BindException: org.springframework.validation.BeanPropertyBindingResult: 2 errors

日付形式の構成が間違っていますか。助けてください。
