Sure I succeeded wrapping the String to Date conversion outside of the action class with custom type conversion class.
I guess I expected that when <s:datetimepicker> uses java.util.Date property when rendering the HTML, I will get the new value in the same property after submitting the form which holds the <s:datetimepicker> Since I don't think the automated String to Date conversion stated here http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/type-conversion.html will do well for real application I didn't even try to go this way. Having the ability to use static content as attribute value made the solution with custom type conversion class good enough and I didn't bother further with this.
