I implemented the datetimepicker using the <sx:datetimepicker> tag and was able to change the display format.

But now, I'm not able to change the format of the date that it outputs to the server.

I read that the date is formatted in RFC 3339 (yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss) format by default.

Is there anyway I can change this to MM/dd/yyyy.

I mean I can use SimpleDateFormat to change the date to the format I want, but I'm also checking whether the format is in MM/dd/yyyy in the validate() method of my Action class.

And then I'm supposed to set the date value to a POJO, so I'll have to parse the date twice using SimpleDateFormat which sounds like a lot of mess.

Is there anyway I can directly make the datetimepicker output the value in the format I want?

What prevents you to parse it only once? – Roman C Apr 30 '13 at 15:15
