I am using java 8 version in my application, I have confused to use java date classes like java.util.Date and java.time.LocalDate at entity and dto level.
Before java 8, we used to use either java.sql.Date or java.util.Date but in java 8 introduced LocalDate so can I use LocalDate for both entity and dto class.

My date format should be either dd-MM-yyyy or dd/MM/yyyy, dto is used as Rest API request body and enity as we know this is the model to maps with database.

Can I use LocalDate for both entity and dto, in the database table column datatype is Date.
