Re: [BeanUtils] Converting Date to String String to Date.
Thank you for reply. I wrote a converter which converts a String to Date(I found an example at archives). It converts a String to Date. When data is copied from a bean which have Date type to bean with String property it is not formatting date. Do you understand else I will post code of what I did.

Hi all, I am learning BeanUtils. Converting a String to a destination beans type while copying properties is a nice feature. But is the reverse is possible.

Re: [BeanUtils] Converting Date to String String to Date.
I did it. I have to register one converter for String. I found one in the
converters package. I write one converter and tested it for performance.
Interestingly my converter is more faster than the one in the package. My
converter contains more lines of code it is posted here.
import org.apache.commons.beanutils.Converter;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class StringConverter implements Converter{
public Object convert(Class type,Object obj){
String value = null;
if(obj instanceof String)
return obj;
if(!(obj instanceof Date)){
return obj.toString();
}else{
try{
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(dd-MM-);
value = sdf.format((Date)obj);
}catch(Throwable t){
t.printStackTrace();
}
}
return value;
}
};
Thank you for the help
Antony Paul.

RE: [BeanUtils] Converting Date to String String to Date.
You might want to call it StringToDateConverter and I'd provide the date
format string as a parameter to the constructor.
