DateLocaleConverter does NOT return a default value if a conversion error occurs 

           Summary: DateLocaleConverter does NOT return a default value if a
                    conversion error occurs

The org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.converters.DateLocaleConverter does not 
return a default value even when the object is constructed with a default 
value. 

The reason for the exception being thrown lies within the BaseLocaleConvert 
class that DateLocaleConverter extends. I checked the source of 
BaseLocaleConvert and found that the boolean Default is set to false with this 
comment... Should we return the default value on conversion errors? There is no 
method supplied within the any of the subclasses that allows this boolean to be 
set.
