Hi All,

I have a date field retrieved as plain String from database. When I try 
to sort the "date" column it does not work properly. So I extended 
display tag DefaultComparator as follows:

//...
public class DateStringComparator extends DefaultComparator {
    public int compare(Object dateOne, Object dateTwo) {
        int result = 0;
        final String mask = "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss";
        try {
            Date d1 = DateWrapper.stringToDate(((String) 
dateOne).trim(), mask);
            result = d1.compareTo(DateWrapper.stringToDate(((String) 
dateTwo)
                    .trim(), mask));
        } catch (ParseException e) { e.priontStackTrace(); }
        return result;
    }
}

When declaring the String date column I do:

<display:column title="End Date" class="content-table"
    media="html csv xml excel pdf rtf" style="width=33%"
   comparator="com.app.web.util.DateStringComparator"
   sortable="true" 
sortProperty="attrEndDate">${vote.attrEndDate}</display:column>

Here comes the problem. The table renders the comparator class name 
"com.app.web.util.DateStringComparator" instead of field value. I am 
using displaytag-1.1.1-2007-6-7.jar.

What am I missing here dudes? Can someone shed some light here :D

Thanks a lot,
José Renato.
