You should keep all your form types as string - then you do not get conversion problems. Do your validation in the validate() method. Format your date using a DateFormat object before redisplaying.

First I need to renderize it formatted. Since the html:text has no format property, i did this: <input type="text" name="data" id="data" value="<bean:write name="GridForm" property="data" format="dd/MM/yyyy" />"> Another way? Second I need to submit the value inserted in the html:text by user, to this same Date property. But when i submit the page, de BeanUtils.populate throws a error, because it can not do the automatic conversion from String to Date. How it could be done automatically? tks, Paulo Marcio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For more information about Barclays Capital, please visit our web site at http://www.barcap.com.
