I believe this is now better documented - if you think it's the wrong thing to
be doing period, then let's have that discussion :)
> Custom DateTypeConverter classes mysteriously fail
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: STS-441
> URL: http://mc4j.org/jira/browse/STS-441
> Project: Stripes
> Issue Type: Bug

> Affects Versions: Release 1.4.3
> Environment: Solaris 11
> Reporter: Alan Burlison
> Assigned To: Tim Fennell
> Fix For: Release 1.5

> I was trying to get Stripes to accept dd/MM/YYYY format dates, so I extended
> DateTypeConverter as follows:
> protected String[] getFormatStrings() {
> String[] o = super.getFormatStrings();
> String[] n = new String[o.length + 1];
> n[0] = "dd/MM/yyyy";
> System.arraycopy(o, 0, n, 1, o.length);
> return n;
> }
> And in my Action class I had:
> @Validate(converter=my.project.MyDateTypeConverter.class)
> private Date startDate;
> And it didn't work - it rejected perfectly valid dates such as "31/12/2007".
> The reason is that DateFormat replaces characters such as "/" in the input
> string with spaces, but it *doesn't* do the same to the format strings, so
> it ends up trying to match "31 12 2007" against "dd/MM/yyyy", which fails.
> I'm not sure if this is a documentation bug (i.e. the docs should point out
> that custom format strings shouldn't include non-space characters), or a code
> bug (i.e. format strings should be subject to the same replacements as the
> input string), but it surely *is* a bug.
