How to present date

[JingJo]

Hi guy,
First of all, i would to say "i,m not good in English and newbie spring".
I have a question about how to implement WebBindingInitializer.
Could you spend some time to help, i'm had read a spring3 document and focus on chapter 5, 15, 16 and search at this forums.
Now i try to render a screen show a human date (dd/MM/yyyy), i'm fail.


This code form some comment at expertexchange site.

package root.control;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.CustomDateEditor;
import org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.StringTrimmerEditor;
import org.springframework.web.bind.WebDataBinder;
import org.springframework.web.bind.support.WebBindingInitializer;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest;

public class GlobalBindingInitializer implements WebBindingInitializer {

	private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(GlobalBindingInitializer.class);
	
	@Override
	public void initBinder(WebDataBinder webDataBinder, WebRequest webRequest) {
		logger.debug("AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA");
		SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
		simpleDateFormat.setLenient(false);
		webDataBinder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(simpleDateFormat, true));
		webDataBinder.registerCustomEditor(String.class, new StringTrimmerEditor(true));

	}
}

package root.control;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

import root.model.Model;


@Controller
@RequestMapping("index.html")
public class MyController extends MultiActionController {

	private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyController.class);

	@InitBinder
	@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public ModelAndView a(@ModelAttribute Model model, BindingResult bindingResult) throws Exception {
		logger.debug("TEST");
		model.setCurrentDate(new java.util.Date());
		bindingResult.getPropertyEditorRegistry();
		ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();
		modelAndView.setViewName("index0");
		modelAndView.addObject(bindingResult.getModel());
		return modelAndView;
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
	public String b(@ModelAttribute("model") Model model) {
		logger.debug("CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC");
		logger.debug(model.getCurrentDate());
		return "index2";
	}

}

package root.model;

public class Model {

	private java.util.Date currentDate;

	public java.util.Date getCurrentDate() {
		return currentDate;
	}

	public void setCurrentDate(java.util.Date currentDate) {
		this.currentDate = currentDate;
