     Cool, Thanks! Now I'm excited to work with this tomorrow...I
     wasn't calling
     
     returnValue = stringConverter.convert(type, value);

     Actually you know what might be a decent idea: modifying the
     StringCoverter code to deal with the correct format for how you
     want to convert java.util.Dates to Strings. Might provide a
     default SimpleDateFormat and then also include a type of register
     method that could take a String pattern for how you want to
     format the Dates to Strings in order to over-ride the default.
     I'll work on it tomorrow and let you know how it turns out. At
     least this way you'll only have to register a DateConverter and
     not another Converter to deal with Dates to Strings.

     Thanks again.
