As far as I can remember you could use var parameter in order to reference a date variable from the value stack. Try something like this:
<s:date name="demographics.creationDate" format="dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm ***" var="creationDate"/> <s:hidden name="demographics.creationDate" value="#creationDate"/> *** I'm not fully sure that this format works.
