We have a case where users can choose their own date format. In a number of cases the classes passing the date objects pass as strings, not date objects. Formatting is occuring at the persistence tier, not the presentation tier.

Is there a way to pass a different format string for each different get or find function call?

Use a Date type (not a String type), and format it when you get it out of the object.

Yes, but we have cases where you may have 4 dates objects. Seems silly to do that for each data member vs a nice dynamic change.

Yeah, this is a tough one. Write a utility method that takes a string date, and a format, detects its existing format, and reformats it... Chris
