Is there anyway to bind a pair of typeconverter and formatter to a specific
actionbean class? this way, the customer pair would only apply to this
action bean but would not affect other actions/displays

Alternatively you can create a class to act as both a type converter and type
formatter. Just have the class implement Formatter<T>, TypeConverter<T>, and
register the class in the DefaultFormatterFactory/DefaultTypeConverterFactory
to have them use the convert and format the date automatically .

Date formatting is usually something that's done by the view component in a
typical MVC model. I'm not sure that the Stripes ActionBean is the right place
to solve this problem.
What we usually do is that we take the Date object up and until the view layer,
then format it with JSTL on our JSP pages, e.g.
<f:formatDate value="${user.registrationDate}"/>
If you find repeating yourself a lot, you could just create a special JSP tag
for yourself. Or an EL function, if you're on a fairly recent spec level.

Hello:
hi
I am trying to create a custom date converter. but the the typeconverter api
only allows one way, string -> date
I need to use the custom class to convert date back to string with special
logic for display.
The two way special conversion would only apply to the specific Date field.
Using @Validate(converter=class) only work one way, string -> date
I was expecting to have the single converter class to handle both
string -> date and date -> string, similar to other frameworks
(I am actually converting from a different framework to stripes
but stumbled on this issue, as the other framework has conversion method
pair like convertToString and ConvertToObject.
What should i do?
Thanks in Advance.
