The reason there isn't a standard Date converter is that the string format of a date is locale specific (for example, dd/mm/yyyy versus mm/dd/yyyy), and the basic converter utilities have no notion of locale. Within commons-beanutils, you could investigate using the locale-sensitive conversion utilities instead. > flavio Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
