Bill Rawlingson modified an older version of Rooibos Generator to
quasi-accomodate date types. It's in the new version of Rooibos (see
signature) - just use the date type in the bean template.
<cffunction name="setDate_created" access="public" returntype="void"
output="false">
<cfargument name="date_created" type="string" required="true" />
<cfif isDate(arguments.date_created)>
<cfset arguments.date_created =
dateformat(arguments.date_created,"YYYY/MM/DD") />
</cfif>
<cfset variables.instance.date_created =
trim(arguments.date_created) />
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getDate_created" access="public"
returntype="string" output="false">
<cfreturn variables.instance.date_created />
</cffunction>
Best,
.Peter
