I just ran this code and works fine for me. startDate.getTime() returns Tue Aug 01 15:18:01 PDT 2017, which is as expected.
Only thing is you're missing a semicolon at the end of line startDateDate = dateFormat.parse(startDateStr).

To set the hour, cal.set(Calendar.HOUR, hr); where hr was initialized with the hour to be set. Similarly for minutes, etc.

Spring: Convert String from View to a Calendar Object

I'm assuming your Project class has the field DeadLineDate (fields should start with a lowercase character).

Annotate it with @DateTimeFormat like so

@DateTimeFormat(pattern = "yyyy/MM/dd") // or whatever pattern you want
private Calendar DeadLineDate;

Your client will then need to send the appropriate pattern.
