Thats the way that I do it if my form is also my vo.
I have:
String getFormattedDate()
{
//code to format the java.util.Date here
return formattedDate;
}
void setFormattedDate(String formattedDate)
{
//code to set the java.util.Date here
}
Hope that helps,
-Tim

What I do is make the form field be a string, and then just add another
accessor method like:
java.util.Date getMyFieldAsDate(String format) {
String dateString = this.MyField;
//parse the string to a date and return
}
I don't know if this is 'correct', but it works for me.
