I have'nt looked at the beanutils Converter registration, do you have to register a class or an instance? The problem here is that if there is only one instance of your class, and setFormatPattern is only called once, then if there are two request that require the use of your class a the same time, served by different threads, the parse method in your instance of SimpleDateFormat might be called concurrently, so (as it isn't thread save) it might fail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
