the standard SqlDateConvertor in beanutils uses java.sql.Date.valueOf to perform the conversion. this method requires a date in sql date format ie yyyy-mm-dd. i don't think that the conversion will work given an input in your format.
there is an easy way to make this work in beanutils. you can create a custom converter and then register it to handle your java.sql.date's.
i'd create a custom convertor by extending SqlDateConverter and overriding convert with something like
<untested-code-warning>
public Object convert(Class type, Object value) {
if (value == null) {
return super.convert(type, value);
}
return super.convert(type, value.toString().substring(0, 10));
}
</untested-code-warning>
see java docs for explanation of how to register a custom converter.

I'm using BeanUtils to populate a bean with records from a resultSet via a
HashMap built using the metadata.getColumnName for property names and the
rst.getString for values in the usual way. A date field in the resultSet
(we'll call it "myDate") is causing an exception.
Debug log shows ConvertUtils is attempting to "Convert string '2002-09-25
01:05:43.0' to class 'java.sql.Date'" but it cannot and throws a
ConversionException.
My bean imports java.sql.Date, and the instance variable is:
private Date myDate = null;
My setter is:
public void setMyDate(Date myDate) {
this.myDate = myDate;
}
How do I get the date into my bean as a date? Am I stuck with setting it as
a String?
