It is with Struts, but not with Spring MVC. With Spring MVC, you use a
CustomDateEditor to register the format to use. A type mismatch error
will be thrown if the format is incorrect. Struts 2 works this same
way, as do many others. This conversion error is lumped into
validation, but it's not really validation IMO.

It looks like you may be trying to mix Valang Validator and Commons
Validator. I've never worked with Valang validator, so I don't know if
I can offer much assistance.
