Hi
I'm new to Digester and have got simple xml->java processing working based on some examples I found on www.onjava.com and www.javaworld.com.
However, what I fail to see is how I can set a property of a bean if it is of type java.util.Date using a setDate(Date) bean method (xml date should be in RFC822 format)?
I'm not sure this is a Digester problem (since it seems to use BeanUtils internally to do this), but I imagine someone, somewhere has done this using Digester (?).
Anyway, I've been using:
digester.addBeanPropertySetter("pattern/date", "date");
in my code where the property name is date, but this isn't working. The error can be seen below.
I can only assume this has something to do with the fact that the java.util.Date class has no constructor matching a java.lang.String input and needs a DateFormatter to help, but how do you do that here? I haven't tested with other types apart from Strings (Integer, Boolean etc. - do they work as expected?).
Any ideas how to get past this one greatly appreciated?
