Hi Paul, Have you tried Joda Time LocalDate [1]?
"LocalDate is an immutable datetime class representing a date without a time zone." You could create a custom type to map the DATE external type to the LocalDate class, instead of using NSTimestamp or java.util.Date. It is similar to the Boolean solution.
