Hubert, I didn't mean your BeanDef is not good. Please don't take that way. :)
Question for you. Bill Siggelkow mentioned your BeanDef in his book, here is the example he gave us, <form name="a" beanType="com.a.b.Employee"/> <field property="aDate"> <converter key="format.date.us <http://format.date.us>"/> </field> </form> I am working on locale aware application, how do I specify the converter base on locale?
