Hi, I am looking to solve the same issue but have no clean solution yet, just a few ideas :
Populating dates requires to dynamically obtain date pattern format together with the String date value in order to do the String to Date / Date to String conversion. To achieve these goals : Requirements 1. A validation mechanism is necessary to make sure the right String format has been submitted. 2. A conversion mechanism must be implemented. Solutions Point 1. Struts Validator http://home.earthlink.net/~dwinterfeldt/ looks like the answer, with i18n support which is most important for dates. Point 2. I have come to think of extending or modifying org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConvertUtils class source which does the actual type conversion. Any comments, ideas or other solutions are welcome.
