Of course, right after I sent the email, I figured out my problem. I
created the following class, then registered it in my ContextListener using
this line:
ConvertUtils.register(new SqlDateConverter(), java.sql.Date.class);
package com.caris.pmis.util;
import java.sql.Date;
import org.apache.commons.beanutils.Converter;
import org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.*;
public class SqlDateConverter implements Converter
{
private org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.SqlDateConverter
sqlDateConverter = new
org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.SqlDateConverter();
public Object convert(Class type, Object value)
{
if(value == null || value.toString().length() < 1)
return null;
return sqlDateConverter.convert(type, value);
}
}
Cheers,
Graham

Subject: BeanUtils Date Converter
Hey all,
I know this question has been addressed numerous times but I can't seem to
find the answer.
I'm trying to convert strings in my forms to java.sql.Date in my dto. Its
throwing a conversion error when my form value is null or blank. Is there a
way to get nulls or passed through the BeanUtils.copyProperties function? I
read that I may be able to create my own converters too. Is there any
documentation on this?
Cheers,
Graham
