Dates in Form Objects

[Frost, Gary [IT]]

Hi,

I've got struts going using a nightly build from about a month ago.

Anyway, I'd like to have a form

public class InputForm extends Form
        {
        Integer                 volume;
        java.util.Date  transferDate;
        String          notes;
        }

And on a JSP page, effectively
        <table>
        <tr><td>Volume</td><td><html:text property="volume" /></td></tr>
        <tr><td>Transfer Date</td><td><html:text  property="transferDate"
size="8" styleId="tradeDate"/>dd/mm/yyyy
<td></tr>
        <tr><td>Notes</td><td><html:text property="notes"/></td></tr>


So that 
        a) When the JSP is called, if the values are completed (not null)
then they are correctly rendered to the page, i.e. how can I have an
appropriate date formatter in their (I am also using JSTL, so would be happy
to put <f:fmt> in their somewhere).
        b) When the page is submitted, the form converts the transferDate
into a java.util.Date object.

At the moment I am getting an exception in  BeanUtils.populate

But looking at the BeanUtils javadoc I should be able to do something with
org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.converters.DateLocaleFormater correct?
All input greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Gary
