Re: [Webwork-devel] Handling dates in webwork

[<ma...@sm...>]

The property is set from a default DateEditor that is
used. WW defines a handful of these in util/editor. Of
course, you can use your own custom property editor.
The formatDate() routine is just a helper to format the
date the way you want. WW could have an implicit
conversion. I guess I need more feedback to establish
the best default case.
