I am going to create another converter that takes a long and converts into Date. Now my question is , is it possible to register two converters for the same Date ?? So can i do this : ConvertUtils.register(new StringtoDateConverter(), Date.class) ConvertUtils.register(new LongtoDateConverter(), Date.class) If this works....then i have no issues to take care of.....my Date object gets created just fine from the backend (from String) and the front end (from a long)...and i guess the Converter that got registered first , would get precedence over the other. If it is possible, and what are the pitfalls ??
