Not if you're using FormDef !
<form name="myForm"
beanType="com.my.dto.MyBean">
<field property="dateField1">
<converter param="MMM dd, yyyy"/>
</field>
<field property="dateField2">
<converter param="yyyy-MM-dd"/>
</field>
</form>
Combined with getFormValues()/setFormValues(), parse and format each
field the way you want! You can even specify a key into your resource
bundle so different locales have different formats!

Fortunately, Rivka's initial example had two forms whose date formats
were different. In those cases, Rivka can use Laurie's approach.
