I must be missing something here:) I think I see what you are doing
now... you are wanting to use the ValueObject in the jsp display. In
that case why not just use of the tag libraries that display dates in
whatever format you like. Then you won't even need to bother with the
converters or BeanUtils. To format Dates in jsp pages I now use the JSTL
format tags. It's then simply a matter of doing
<fmt:formatDate pattern="MM/dd/yy" value="${element.yourDate}"/>
I'm sure you could define the pattern globally for the whole page, I
just was lazy and didn't look into it.
I think that will solve your problem?
