I recieved any feedback on this.. I will take a looksee at tweaking how
betwixt works and what is involved in making a .betwixt file, however, if
anyone has any samples, that would be much appreciated!

Subject: [betwixt] Strategies for roundtripping Date objects
Hi all,
I am using betwixt to take a basic object with lots of string parameters and
roundtrip them to XML and back. However, I just added a java.util.Date
object, and now betwixt is erroring when it tries to pass the String
representation of the date object back in as a string. I could add a method
public void setDate(String dateAsString)
but that seems icky. Do I have to create a .betwixt file to deal with this?
Or, should betwixt be changed to look at my String and try and convert it to
a date if my only matching method signature takes a date. Alternatively to
create a .betwixt file, can I do the same thing, but programatically. I
don't really want to add yet another file for mapping.
Loving Betwixt!
