Hi, Thanks for that solution! After finding the DateLabel in the API, I extended PropertyColumn to this class:
public class DatePropertyColumn<T> extends PropertyColumn<T> { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private DateConverter converter; public DatePropertyColumn(IModel<String> displayModel, String sortProperty, String propertyExpression, DateConverter converter) { super(displayModel, sortProperty, propertyExpression); this.converter = converter; } @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") @Override public void populateItem(Item<ICellPopulator<T>> item, String componentId, IModel<T> rowModel) { item.add(new DateLabel(componentId, (IModel<Date>) createLabelModel(rowModel), converter)); } } I had to create my own extension of PatternDateConverter to deal with java.sql.Timestamp values in my model objects: public class TimestampConverter extends PatternDateConverter { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public TimestampConverter(String datePattern) { super(datePattern, false); } @Override public Timestamp convertToObject(String value, Locale locale) { Date time = super.convertToObject(value, locale); return new Timestamp(time.getTime()); } } and this is what is passed into the constructur of the DatePropertyColumn.
