DataMapper supports converting Hash values directly into Date objects. So
you'll need to name your properties:
model[date_prop][year]
model[date_prop][month]
model[date_prop][day]
which will come into your action as {:model => {:date_prop => {:year => ...,
:month => ..., :day => ...}} and will work transparently.
