I am really just having a huge issue with my ValueObject having a java.util.Date, and my DynaForm seemingly needing a String, then converting the String to a Date before copying it to the ValueObject.
I was suppose to deliver this Friday, but the Dates are kicking my butt.

java.util.Calendar has built-in locale conversions and takes a variety of input formats - it's really a pretty versatile class.

OK, But my dates are international, and I do not know which of potentially
several formats they may need to be in to support my fully Internationalized
application. Such as the use of "Jan, Feb...etc..." would never work in this context.
