Re: [Webwork-devel] Handling dates in webwork

[Patrick L. <pli...@ho...>]

So the key is this line:

<ui:textfield label="'Date'" name="'objDate'" value="formatDate"/>

Where formateDate() is a method in BeanUtilTest that converts the Date to a
String. I'm still a bit confused how the property is _set_, but whatever.
Either way, why should we have to do all this? Couldn't webwork natively
handle this conversion based on the locale and some BeanUtil.properties
file?
