There is a validation framework in the
contrib/validator directory in the nightly source. It
can handle date valdiations.
<field property="dateAsString"
depends="required,date">
<arg0 key="typeForm.date.displayname"/>
<var>
<var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name>
<var-value>MM/dd/yyyy</var-value>
</var>
</field>
So if you keep your field in the ActionForm a String,
you could use one of the transformation packages to
transform the data from the ActionForm to a JavaBean
with the correct types for fields and then continue
processing your business logic. Of course this may be
more than you want to get into if you just have the
date field and everything else doesn't need to be
transformed.
