The DateBean class is pretty much as written below. You would have to add a getXXXDateBean method for every date property that you want to wrap.
If you don't mind using deprecated APIs, you could also create a custom org.apache.commons.betwixt.strategy.TypeBindingStrategy that returns COMPLEX_TYPE for Date.class and then create a java/util/Date.betwixt mapping file with the properties "day", "month", and "year" (java.util.Date has getDay(), getMonth(), and getYear(), which are deprecated). That would save you from having to create a separate bean and add all the extra getters and setters, but it would apply to *all* dates, which may not be desirable. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Konstantinov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 12:52 PM To: Jakarta Commons Users List Cc: Peter Konstantinov Subject: Re: [betwixt] Bean to Bean mapping Can you help to write DateBean.betwixt?
