beanutils: how to convert string to date

[Vic Cekvenich]

I can write something like this:
public java.sql.Date getSMaxDate() {
    String _MaxDate = "1/1/1999";
	SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy");
	java.util.Date du  = new java.util.Date();
	try {
	  du = df.parse(_MaxDate);
	} catch (Exception e) { log.error("Date conversion error " + _MaxDate + 
e);}
	java.sql.Date d= new java.sql.Date(du.getTime());
	
	
	return d;
}

But... is there a way to do

        Converter c = new SqlDateConverter();
        d = c.convert (_MaxDate, java.sql.Date.class  );
I am looking at api and can;t figure how to use beanutils to make a 
string into a SQL date.

Does someone have an example?
