Handling i18n dates in forms.

[Michael L. Gantz]

What convienent utilities exist to handle i18n dates in forms? The documentation appears to indicate that the Validator can validate dates based on the users current Locale. But, when populating the form, which holds the date as a string, how do I do the international date conversion into and out of the form? There appears to be a lot of locale specific conversion utilities in commons, but I can't find anything that appears to do the following:

1) Take a date and convert it to a string using a short i18n format, i.e. MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD base on the users current Locale.

2) Do the opposite of 1 and convert back to a date object based on the current users Locale.

I'm sure this is possible I just can't seem to get all the pieces put together.

Thanks.
