Francisco,
Have you tried something like this from the Wiki site?
In ValidatedAction-validation.xml:
<validators>
<field name="date">
<field-validator type="date">
<param name="min">01/01/1970</param>
<message key="invalid.date">Invalid Date!</message>
</field-validator>
</field>
</validators>
In ValidatedAction.properties:
invalid.date=You must enter a date after ${min}.
