Thanks for the suggestion. This is what I ended figuring out after I figured
out what date/time format my property of type java.util.Date would accept:
<code>
<input type="hidden" name="demographics.creationDate" value="<s:date
name="demographics.creationDate" format="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"/>"/>
</code>
A ugly hack in order nest <s:date/> in the hidden field. If anyone know how
to do this properly just using
<s:hidden name="demographics.creationDate" value="?????????"/>
I would appreciate it.
