Like I answered you earlier:
getApplicationSettings().setConverterFactory(new
IConverterFactory()
{
public IConverter newConverter(final Locale locale)
{
final Converter converter = new
Converter(locale);
// String -> Date
DateConverter dc = new DateConverter();
dc.setDateFormat(locale, new
SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy"));
converter.set(Date.class, dc);
// Date -> String
DateToStringConverter dsc = new
DateToStringConverter();
dsc.setDateFormat(locale, new
SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy"));
StringConverter sc = new StringConverter();
sc.set(Date.class, dsc);
converter.set(String.class, sc);
return converter;
}
});
Notice the use of a seperate StringConverter that has a registry for
type converters itself.

It is. Currently Wicket doesn't know about ingoing or outgoing values
though. But typically conversion is from String to T and from T to
String. Different converters would be used in both cases.
