Aye, The use of DateFormat is actually in Spring's CustomDateEditor object. See http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/api/org/springframew ork/beans/propertyeditors/CustomDateEditor.html#CustomDateEditor(java.te xt.DateFormat,%20boolean,%20int) where it mentions that setLenient(false) does not enforce strict parsing as you might expect. I think you are correct in thinking that creating your own IConverter would be the best solution. I'd probably give subclassing PatternDateConverter a shot.

Larry, I think setLenient(false) should work if you use java.text.DateFormat but did you write your own custom implementation of IConverter interface? Thats the only way I can think of at this point.
