30 * Properties of type Date are automatically rendered as temporal
31 * types by the DynaForm. However in some cases other types (in
32 * particular, String properties) also should be rendered as a
33 * date. This annotation can be applied to such fields to force

38 * This works much like javax.persistence.Temporal but permits the use
