JPA Attributeconverters - spring

Question

I am trying to use JPA Converters unsuccessful.
The class of the converter is instantiated because of the spring #Componente annotation, as I can see on starting log.
The project does not throw any exceptions, just don't execute the overridden methods of the converters. Nothing happen
Can you help me ?
This is my converter
#Component
#Converter
public class ZonedTimestampConverter implements AttributeConverter<Date, Date> {
#Autowired
private SessionData sessionData;
public ZonedTimestampConverter() {
System.out.println("++++++++++++++++ ZonedTimestampConverter !!!!!! ++++++++++++");
}
#Override
public Date convertToDatabaseColumn(Date attribute) {
System.out.println("++++++++++++++++ NEED TO SET TIMEZONE HERE !!!!!! ++++++++++++");
return attribute;
}
#Override
public Date convertToEntityAttribute(Date dbData) {
System.out.println("++++++++++++++++ NEED TO SET TIMEZONE HERE !!!!!! ++++++++++++");
return dbData;
}
}
This is the attribute of my entity:
#Column(name = "DATE_TIME", nullable = false, columnDefinition= "TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE")
#Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
#JsonFormat(shape=JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern="yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ")
#Convert(converter = ZonedTimestampConverter.class)
private Date dateTime;

Try adding generic types:
#Converter
public class ZonedTimestampConverter implements AttributeConverter<Date, Date> {
....
}
