Faced with a similar problem, I took a different approach. I created a tag that generates a set of day/month/year fields in the jsp and gets and sets values in a "FormDate" class which is a member of my form. The FormDate class handles conversions to/from a java.sql.Date. Although following the other comments in this thread I should perhaps use a java.util.Date and convert to java.sql.Date at the database layer.
