You can use a custom deserializer :

public class DateDeSerializer extends StdDeserializer<Date> {

    public DateDeSerializer() {
        super(Date.class);
    }

    @Override
    public Date deserialize(JsonParser p, DeserializationContext ctxt)
        throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {
        String value = p.readValueAs(String.class);
        try {
            return new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd").parse(value);
        } catch (DateTimeParseException e) {
            //throw an error
        }
    }
}

and use like :

@JsonDeserialize(using = DateDeSerializer.class)
 private Date startDate;
