Date Form Fields Question

["Mattos, John" <jm...@Indemand.com>]

Hi all

I have a form that contains a StartDate and EndDate text fields, and I'm
wondering what the best way to deal with them is.

Should the Form Bean attribute be of type Date, or should I make it a
String, and just use DateFormat.parse(StartDate); to parse it in the
validate method?

Thoughts? Best practices?
