Instead of the format itself, you can specify a key into your
application resource files:
<!-- define the default format for use by all Date fields -->
<global-converter for="property-type"
target="java.util.Date"
key="format.date"/>
In your resource files, define the format you want to use for that locale:
in example.properties (default for Aus?):
format.date=dd/MM/yyyy
in example_en_US.properties:
format.date=MM/dd/yyyy
The binary download for FormDef includes locale.war which demonstrates
this capability.
