Make a get/set that accepts a String for each of your form date fields.
Parse the string into a Date in your validate method. If it doesn't parse
correctly then use report an error to the user.

Use a method like this to parse your Dates. A null return value indicates an
invalid date.

    protected java.util.Date parseDate(String dateString, String format)
    {
        if (dateString == null)
        {
            return null;
        }
        try
        {
            DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
		// setLenient avoids allowing dates like 9/32/2001 which would otherwise
parse to 10/2/2001
            df.setLenient(false);
            return df.parse(dateString);
        }
        catch(ParseException pe)
        {
            return null;
        }
    }
