There is a separate Jakarta project called 'Taglibs' which may be of interest for what you are facing. Taglibs is a set of reusable tags. There is a DateTime tag library which looks like it would take away most of the pain in Date conversion . Your form classes could then be written to deal with Date objects and the date tags take care of the conversion. I believe Taglibs is connected to a JSR asking for a standard jsp tag library, so there's a good chance the tags will be supported and stay around.
