That is the same problem that I ran into with the FieldHandlerFactory. Interestingly, I didn't have this problem when using a GeneralizedFieldHandler for java.util.Calendar (even though this class extends java.util.Date) But I did have this problem using a FieldHandlerFactory for a java.util.Calendar..
Hmmmm.... Well, in that case I can only think of the approach that Renato suggested. Good luck!
