mask converter

Hi. 
Not long ago I have posted a doubt about mask where I wanted to remove 
formatting characters like "- / ..."
ex:
zip code 01234-123
(submited)
01234123
(persisted)

After some play with validator I think that it should not touch the form 
results submited, and the best solution would be make a converter that takes 
a masked value and outputs the unmasked value. Something like a converter or 
converter decorator that uses masks. 
I take a look in a sun's mask class called MaskFormatter. I searching for 
something like this, but it's a swing class, I can't risk using it in server 
applications.
What do you think of this ?
