But where is this dateValue being used? You saying it's not converting
java.util.Date to a String properly for you yet I don't see this Date
being used anywhere to even allow it be converted to the String in the
correct format.

Isn't your concern going the other direction that is having you
stumped? In other words here you are just doing a String to String
conversion. Why don't you create a Bean that has java.util.Date field
and then do 
BeanUtils.copyProperties(mockForm, theObjectThatHasAdateField ); 
Then try
