Someone on struts-user posted a DateBeanUtilsConverter class that I need help using. It implements Converter, and from the BeanUtils API it sounds like I need to "register" this class somewhere so that PropertyUtils.copyProperties will use it to convert the Date object in my Value Object into a String for the ActionForm property.
Right now, this only if both the ActionForm [contactForm] and the Value Object [contact] have matching property types. And then it blows up if you type in something other than YYYY-MM-DD in the text area. I need a String for the ActionForm (it's coming from an HTML form) and a Date (currently java.sql.Date, but I'm flexible) for the Value Object. PropertyUtils.copyProperties( contactForm, contact ); I'm sure this has been done before, but I'm having trouble adapting the examples I've found into a Struts app. I've found the 'ConvertUtils' class now... does anyone have advice on where to do the registering of the Converter? I do have a ServletContextListener, so I think that's good for now. Please let me know if there's a better place.
