HAHA! I would have done the same thing. I don't want things like that
(regexp) creeping around my application, even if I do only have to touch it
once. Ech! <shivers>

Holy lipton that's nuts. I think I'll see what's behind door number 3:
public void setDate( String date )
{
this.date = translateDate( date ); // where translateDate inserts the
slashes if necessary
}
So I can use the "date" validator with no problems, and when the client
submits the form, they get back a slash-separated date in the input field.
Thanks for the help :)
