It has been possible to bind a date directly since long before Grails 1.3. The steps are:
(1) Create a class that registers an editor for your date format under grails-app/utils:
(2) Make Grails aware of this date editor by registering the following bean in grails-app/conf/spring/resources.groovy

(1) Create a class that registers an editor for your date format under grails-app/utils:
import org.springframework.beans.PropertyEditorRegistrar
import org.springframework.beans.PropertyEditorRegistry
import org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.CustomDateEditor
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
public class CustomDateEditorRegistrar implements PropertyEditorRegistrar {
public void registerCustomEditors(PropertyEditorRegistry registry) {
String dateFormat = 'yyyy-MM-dd'
registry.registerCustomEditor(Date, new CustomDateEditor(new
SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat), true))
}
}
(2) Make Grails aware of this date editor by registering the following bean in grails-app/conf/spring/resources.groovy
beans = {
customPropertyEditorRegistrar(CustomDateEditorRegistrar)
}
