[BeanUtils] LocaleBeanUtils for Date conversion

[sebty]

Hi
I would like to use the class LocaleBeanUtils to set a Date property.
I don t understand how it works exactly and i don t find any examples in 
the documentation.

With this code (birthDate is a Date property of the customer object) :
LocaleBeanUtils.setProperty(customer,"birthDate","12/10/1974","dd/mm/yyyy");
I obtain the following error :
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch
    at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method)
    at 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.setSimpleProperty(PropertyUtils.java:1789)
    at 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.setNestedProperty(PropertyUtils.java:1684)
    at 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.setProperty(PropertyUtils.java:1713)
    at 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.LocaleBeanUtils.invokeSetter(LocaleBeanUtils.java:758)
    at 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.LocaleBeanUtils.setProperty(LocaleBeanUtils.java:567)

Can somebody explain this behaviour?
Much thanks in advance!
Seb
