Also, consider to inject the format in your IoC container (Guice,
Spring, etc).

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.

private final static SimpleDateFormat DATE_FORMAT = new

Can you patch a whole class?
What would be useful is parameterizable type converters, to specify the date
format in this case. (they're not parameterizable, are they?)

The built-in type converter uses "uses the SHORT format for the Locale
associated with the current request" according to the type conversion
docs,
so yes, you'll need to do your own if you're using a different input
format.
Looking through the XWork conversion code it's hard for me to tell what
it's
*actually* doing, though :/

JSTL has the <fmt:formatDate> tag. If you want to do it in Java,
rather
than your JSP, you can use SimpleDateFormat.
Be aware that SimpleDataFormat is not thread safe, so don't assign it
to
a
static field or use it in a singleton. If you use it as an instance
field
on an Action you'll be safe, since Actions are created per request.
If you want a thread safe version of SimpleDateFormat, Jakarta

has FastDateFormat: http://commons.apache.org/lang/

Subject: date conversion
Hi
quick question, I can't find any specific mention of what I want so I
assume I
have to code my own Converter.
I need a date in the ISO format YYYY-MM-DD
There is no converter that I can configure in the struts package, is
there?
