Suppress Date Error (Annotation)

Hi,

i use the initBinder to check a date.
i also use a @NotNull annotation for this date.

The problem is that i get 2 errors when i have a wrong date.
1. Init Binder Error
2. Date is NotNull

Is there a possibility to suppress the annotation error, when the initbinder throws an error ?

What error does the initBinder throw?

typeMismatch.java.util.Date

I think it's typeMismatch.fieldName

I define a initBinder like that:

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy", Locale.GERMAN);
df.setLenient(false);
CustomDateEditor editor = new CustomDateEditor(df, true, ZEHN);
binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, editor);

--> When the User enter a wrong date like : 32534
i get :

typeMismatch.java.util.Date exception
AND
I get my notnull exception
@NotNull(message = "blabla")
private Date datefield;

If you have a error resource bundle configured just put a new entry in it with the key typeMismatch.fieldName. Whenever there is an exception while parsing the data, the error will show up instead of an exception.

this is clear. The Problem that i want to suppress the @NotNull Annotation when i have a typeMismatch.fieldName exception.
