I have following configuration:
@Bean
@Primary
public ObjectMapper objectMapper(Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder) {
ObjectMapper objectMapper = builder.createXmlMapper(false).build();
objectMapper.configure(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS, false);
// objectMapper.configure(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATE_TIMESTAMPS_AS_NANOSECONDS, false);
return objectMapper;
}
and following dependencies:
ext {
springBootVersion = '1.5.2.RELEASE'
}
....
dependencies {
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-websocket')
compile("org.springframework:spring-messaging")
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-validation')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
compile group: 'net.jcip', name: 'jcip-annotations', version: '1.0'
compile ("com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-jsr310")
testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}
I added the following controller:
@PostMapping("/validation_test")
public String testValidation(@Valid @RequestBody ClientInputMessage clientInputMessage, BindingResult result) {
logger.info(Arrays.toString(result.getAllErrors().toArray()));
return "main";
}
public class ClientInputMessage {
@NotEmpty
private String num1;
@NotEmpty
private String num2;
@Past
private LocalDateTime date;
If I pass json like this:
{
"num1":"324",
"num2":123,
"date":"2014-01-01"
}
application prints following output:
Failed to read HTTP message: org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: Could not read document: Can not deserialize value of type java.time.LocalDateTime from String "2014-01-01": Text '2014-01-01' could not be parsed at index 10

Original answer:
LocalDateTime in java does not accept "2014-01-01" as a valid date string.
Some additional info:
If you don't actually care what type your date is (LocalDate, OffsetDate, ZonedDate, ...), you can make it a TemporalAccessor, then use DateTimeFormatter::parseBest to parse the date.
P.S.
string "2014-01-01T00:00:00" will be valid for LocalDateTime
You can simply tell the Deserializer that what comes should be a LocalDate even if you have a LocalDateTime in output, having care to have an alternative setter for your LocalDate variant.
Something as:
@JsonDeserialize(as = LocalDate.class)
@Past
private LocalDateTime date;
public void setDate(LocalDateTime input) {
date = input;
}
public void setDate(LocalDate input) {
date = input.atStartOfDay();
}
