We had the same issue and went with writing a new converter (shown below).
And then created a xwork-conversion.properties file pointing to it.
Z.
private final static SimpleDateFormat DATE_FORMAT = new
SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); @Override public Object
convertFromString(Map context, String[] values, Class toType) throws
TypeConversionException { try { return
DATE_FORMAT.parse( values[0]); } catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); throw new
TypeConversionException("xwork.default.invalid.fieldvalue"); }
return null; } @Override public String convertToString(Map
context, Object object) { Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime((Date) object); try { return
DATE_FORMAT.format(object); } catch (Exception e) {
throw new TypeConversionException("xwork.default.invalid.fieldvalue");
} }
