I'd have the getter format the Date as a string (use SimpleDateFormat.format(), you can specify any of a wide variety of formats). Likewise, the setter should accept a string and use SimpleDateFormat.parse() to turn it into a Date. If parse() returns null then the String could not be turned into a Date, and you need to display an error message. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
