ValidWhen does "int" or "String" comparisons only. If the two fields can be converted to int, then numeric comparison is done otherwise a String comparison is done (by invoking toString() if property is different from String). So, if your startDate and endDate are String of (MM/dd/yyyy) format then the comparison would be lexicographical and so you might not be seeing the desired output.
