DateTime Input causing exceptions when direct invoking.

Describe the bug

When direct invoking the reserve method, we input values, we get the mentioned exception trace. This does not happen during a postman call. It seems to be occuring by how the direct invoke input is being captured:

Controller Method:

@RestController
public class MockConcertController {

    private final Random random = new Random();

    @PostMapping("integration/splitter/concert/reserve")
    public Flux<ConcertReservationResponse> reserve(@RequestBody Flux<ConcertReservationRequest> requestFlux) {
        return requestFlux.flatMap(request -> {
            int randomPrice = calculateRandomPrice(request.getSlot());
            ConcertReservationResponse response = ConcertReservationResponse.create(
                    UUID.randomUUID(),
                    request.getCity(),
                    request.getSlot(),
                    request.getCategory(),
                    randomPrice
            );
            return Mono.just(response);
        });
    }

    private int calculateRandomPrice(LocalDateTime slot) {
        // Add randomness
        int basePrice = 100;
        int variation = random.nextInt(50);
        return basePrice + variation;
    }
}

Request Object

@Data
@ToString
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor(staticName = "create")
public class ConcertReservationRequest {

    private String city;
    private LocalDateTime slot;
    private String category;
}

Response Object:

@Data
@ToString
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor(staticName = "create")
public class ConcertReservationResponse {

    private UUID reservationId;
    private String city;
    private LocalDateTime slot;
    private String category;
    private Integer price;

}
