Annotation Type DynamoDBTypeConvertedTimestamp

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value={TYPE,FIELD,METHOD})
public @interface DynamoDBTypeConvertedTimestamp

Annotation to format a timestamp object using Java's standard date and time patterns. A minimal example using getter annotations,

 @DynamoDBTable(tableName="TestTable")
 public class TestClass {
     private String key;
     private Date createdDate;

     @DynamoDBHashKey
     public String getKey() { return key; }
     public void setKey(String key) { this.key = key; }

     @DynamoDBTypeConvertedTimestamp(pattern="yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS", timeZone="UTC")
     public Date getCreatedDate() { return createdDate; }
     public void setCreatedDate(Date createdDate) { this.createdDate = createdDate; }
 }
 

Please note, Only Calendar, Date and Long are supported for now. Primitives such as long are not supported since the unset (or null) state can't be detected. This annotation is also compatible with DynamoDBAutoGeneratedTimestamp.
