Thanks. I basically figured that out last night but I see the email I
started to post back to the list never made it out of my Drafts box.
The DateTimePropertyEditor I ended up creating uses the "date.format"
application property provided by AppFuse, and if that fails it tries
the Joda-Time default format (ISO8601).
Thanks again.
