kendo grid with java.util.Date doesn't work - datetime

Question

I have a kendo grid with data being populated using ajax request.
the model returned from the controller has a java.util.Date field called someDate and the returned data in json for that field is like
{"total":3,
"data":[
{"someDate":1433116800000,"someValue":111.00},
{"someDate":1444116800000,"someValue":222.00},
{"someDate":1455116800000,"someValue":333.00}]}
The dataSouce is as below:
"dataSource": {
"schema": {
"total":"total",
"data":"data"
},
"transport":{
"parameterMap":function parameterMap(options, operation) {
if(operation==="read"){
return JSON.stringify(options);
} else {
return JSON.stringify(options.models);
}
},
"read":{
"dataType":"json",
"contentType":"application/json",
"type":"POST",
url : "${ajaxGetData}&param="+someParam
}
}
columns in the grid is like this
"columns":
[{
"field":"someValue",
"title":"Some Value",
"type":"numeric"
},{
"field":"someDate",
"title":"Date",
"type":"date",
format:"{0:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss tt}"
}
The issue is that the date and time is not displayed properly. If I use a template, I have to remove the "type":"date" for it to work however the filters don't work properly.
template:'#= kendo.toString( new Date(someDate), "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss tt") #'
How to show Date in a specific format "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss tt".
This JS Fiddle might help (but doesn't have the exact json structure with data and total)

Answer 1

Would it be possible to use ISO 8601 format for you dates, if that's possible the type date in the model definition should work (if you're using GSON library take a look here)
edit
According to the comments you can make use of the schema.parse, a sample of this using your provided fiddle will look like this:
var grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
data: createRandomData(10),
schema: {
model: {
fields: {
FirstName: { type: "string" },
LastName: { type: "string" },
City: { type: "string" },
Title: { type: "string" },
BirthDate: { type: "date" },
Age: { type: "number" }
}
},
parse: function(response) {
var products = [];
for (var i = 0; i < response.length; i++) {
response[i].BirthDate = new Date(response[i].BirthDate);
}
return response;
}
},
pageSize: 10
},
height: 500,
scrollable: true,
sortable: true,
selectable: true,
change:onChangeSelection,
filterable: true,
pageable: true,
columns: [
{
field: "FirstName",
title: "First Name"
},
{
field: "LastName",
title: "Last Name"
},
{
field: "City"
},
{
field: "Title"
},
{
field: "BirthDate",
title: "Birth Date",
//template: '#= kendo.toString(BirthDate,"MM/dd/yyyy") #'
},
{
field: "Age"
}
]
}).data("kendoGrid");
I hope it works.
