best practice: date widget

[Bill Schneider <bs...@vecna.com>]

What is the best-practice with Struts for making something like an HTML
date-widget control, that has three different input fields but maps to a
java.util.Date in a form bean?  The idea is I want to be able to put
something like

<html:date property="startDate"/>

in a JSP page, and call "Date d = formBean.getStartDate()" from a Java
action.  The output HTML should look like

<select name="startDate.month">
  <option value="1">January</option>
  ...
</select>
<input type="text" name="startDate.day">
<input type="text" name="startDate.year">

and there should be a way to validate to make sure this is a valid date
(February 31 not allowed.)

Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks!
