Annotation Type IsDate

@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface IsDate

Requires that the value be a date value. If it is not, it will attempt to perform a conversion according either using a provided pattern, or using the locale-dependant default pattern. Usually date conversions are performed automatically. You should use this annotation only if you want to specify a custom date pattern, and wish to avoid the number-to-date conversions
