Have you checked the latest cvs version? As far as I can tell DAO is now
implemented using BeanUtils.copyProperties().
The latest also seems to cater for date formating as well.
See:
http://cvs.strutsgenerator.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/strutsgenerat
or/StrutsGenerator/bin/template/dao/dao-abstract.vm.diff?r1=1.2&r2=1.3

I have reservation of using PropertyUtils.copyProperties() as it does not do
type converstion.

Hope that helps :)
