Question
Why isn't string -> date conversion provided by default?
Answers
Simply because different regions of the world use different date layouts. There isn't any date format that is a reasonable built-in default.

USA: mm-dd-yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy
Europe/Pacific: dd-mm-yyyy
Other popular formats: yyyy-mm-dd, yyyymmdd

If you want BeanUtils to do implicit String->Date conversions for you, then you just need to register a suitable converter for the date formats you expect to encounter in your input.   Your Comment
