I don't really think the framework is setup to do what you want it to do. The "initial" attribute is really designed to be a primitive. The ConvertUtils "convert" method is not really capable of doing what you want it to do. You'll probably have to extend the FormPropertyConfig class and override the initial() method and a few other things to do that. Shouldn't be too bad, but the current framework will probably not handle your situation.
I could be wrong, it's happened before. But this is how I understand it to work, looking at the source. I definitely should make this a note in the book, eh?
