The DateBean class is pretty much as written below. You would have to add a
getXXXDateBean method for every date property that you want to wrap.
If you don't mind using deprecated APIs, you could also create a custom
that returns
CMPLEX_TYPE for Date.class and then create a java/util/Date.betwixt mapping
file with the properties "day", "month", and "year" (java.util.Date has
getDay(), getMonth(), and getYear(), which are deprecated). That would save
you from having to create a separate bean and add all the extra getters and
setters, but it would apply to *all* dates, which may not be desirable.

Can you help to write DateBean.betwixt?
Is it possible to do this without writing getMyDateBean method in all
classes using Date?

like that then you need to create a new element bean:
public class MyClass {
private Date _myDate = new Date();
public Date getMyDate() {
return _myDate;
}
public DateBean getMyDateBean() {
return new DateBean(_myDate);
}
}
public class DateBean {
private Calendar _calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
public int getDay() {
return _calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
}
public int getMonth() {
return _calendar.get(Calendar.MNTH + 1);
}
public int getYear() {
return _calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
}
public DateBean(Date date) {
_calendar.setTime(date);
}
}
Then map that bean using a DateBean.betwixt file. You can also add
setters
for round-tripping.
Hope that helps,
Jesse

Hi,
How to convert java.util.Date to same xml:
<date day="" month="" year="" />
ConvertUStringConverter can convert only to String.
Regards,

ConvertUStringConverter uses BeanConverter to map Date to
String, but I want map Date to BeanDate in all classes.
