Then why are the months hard-coded? 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. --- Thanks...
