Date format (initBinder) not converting month.

[adii28]

Hi All,

I am using spring mvc with hibernate 3 and orcale 10gR2 for a web based application. In one of my beans I have a date field defined as java.util.date which i format to yyyy/mm/dd using the SimpleDateFormat in the controllers initBinder method.

protected void initBinder(HttpServletRequest request,
            ServletRequestDataBinder binder) throws Exception
      {
         String dateFormat = getMessageSourceAccessor().getMessage("format.date",
               "yyyy/MM/DD");
         SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/DD");
         //df.setLenient(true);
         binder.registerCustomEditor(java.util.Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(
               df, true));
      }

The problem is I always get the date back with the month being 01. Even if I input 2008/11/12, I get 2008/01/12.
I am a little confused of what is going on.
Any input is welcome.
Thank you in advance.
