If you want to use this way of specifying dates then spring binding can't help you. It can only do one-to-one fileld/parameter binding.

Either place three integer fields in your command (year, month, day) and bind to those. You can construct the date later when setting it to the business object.
If you need to bind directly to your business object (or for some reason you really need Date in your command), then override "onBind" method of your controller and manually convert the request parameters to Date.

then if i want to put them i need to place those 3 selects in the commandName="myBean" ?

use form:select , when i submit thise bind the selected option?

as you say,

i create 3 attibutes in myBean and reuse the forEach:

<form:select path="dia" class="entradatxt">
<c:forEach var="ini" begin="1" end="31">
<form:option value="${ini}" label="${ini}"/>
</c:forEach>
</form:select>
&nbsp;
<form:select path="mes" class="entradatxt">
<c:forEach var="mes" items="${registro.meses}">
<form:option value="${mes.id}" label="${mes.nombre}"/>
</c:forEach>
</form:select>
&nbsp;
<form:select path="anio" class="entradatxt">
<c:forEach var="init" begin="1910" end="2002">
<form:option value="${init}" label ="${init}" />
</c:forEach>
</form:select>
