Problem with Date fields on my Domain Objects

[Richardson, Jason - FSA, Kansas City, MO]

I have a domain object that has a java.util.Date.
When running my app, I can't get a date to be accepted.  I have tried multiple 
date formats.  And I even put in a property.
isis.value.format.date=dd/MM/yyyy

My DOM has this for the code:
It's a java.util.Date.


        private Date shiftDate;

        @MemberOrder(sequence = "1")
        public Date getShiftDate() {
                return shiftDate;
        }

        public void setShiftDate(Date shiftDate) {
                this.shiftDate = shiftDate;
        }


Example return on my webpage:
* Not recognised as a date: 05/09/2012
