I don't have time right now to investigate the possible solutions to your problem using the approach you're following. I just wanted to point out that FormDef might be able to help you out depending on how you're using your action form.
http://www.rabago.net/struts/formdef/manual.htm#specifyingformats Using FormDef, you can specify localized formats for dates and numbers. There is a sample application (locale.war) that illustrates this feature.
