== The Apache Jakarta BeanUtils Frequently Asked Questions Page ==

=== Introduction ===

This page is intended to gather answers to questions that are regularly asked 
on the beanutils email lists.

If you discovered something about BeanUtils that you think other people may 
find useful, please edit this page to add that information.

=== Why isn't String -> Date conversion provided by default? ===

Simply because different regions of the world use different date layouts. There 
isn't any date format that is a reasonable built-in default.

 * USA: mm-dd-yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy
 * Europe/Pacific: dd-mm-yyyy
 * Other popular formats: yyyy-mm-dd, yyyymmdd

If you want BeanUtils to do implicit String->Date conversions for you, then you 
just need to register a suitable converter for the date
formats you expect to encounter in your input.
