Just use ConvertUtils.register(converter, Date.class) where converter is your own implementation that handles dates however you want. Digester simply calls the static beanutils method ConvertUtils.convert. Ideally, digester would have a ConvertUtils *instance* rather than relying on the static singleton but that's old history. And in practice no-one has ever cared. > SEVERE: End event threw exception > org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException: DateConverter does > not support default String to 'Date' conversion. > </code> > > In the middle of the msgs above there is one that called my attention: > N.B.

Hmm.. I don't remember any code like that. What class is that in? Are you sure you're not looking at code inside beanutils?
