I'm wondering more how others deal with getting their String versions of Dates into the correct Data type in their business bean and use BeanUtils also. (I know BeanUtils converts java.sql.Date but I'm wondering if others are using java.util.Date and if so how are they handling usiing BeanUtils.copyProperties(.. )... are they creating a custom converter? If so are they also using BeanUtils.copyProperties( ..) to copy back from their business object to their form bean using a Converter? I absolutely love the power of BeanUtils.copyProperties, I just find it surprising that others haven't run into issues using this with java.util.Date. (Hence my new post here because maybe I shouldn't be using this data type?). I'll dig in more with the issue of writing my own Converter and registering it (as described in my other post) but before I tackle that more I was just curious how others have dealt it with (why reinvent the wheel thing:) Thanks -- Rick mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
