Class DateConverter

Implemented Interfaces:
Converter

public final class DateConverter
extends DateTimeConverter

DateTimeConverter implementation that handles conversion to and from java.util.Date objects.

This implementation can be configured to handle conversion either by using a Locale's default format or by specifying a set of format patterns (note, there is no default String conversion for Date). See the DateTimeConverter documentation for further details.

Can be configured to either return a default value or throw a ConversionException if a conversion error occurs.
