Date "dd/MM/yyyy" / Internationalization BC4J

Question

I'm having troubles to use BC4J Data Tags of Date type in my native format, portuguese. I'm trying to use another mask, the default is "yyyy-MM-dd" and I need "dd/MM/yyyy".
In JDeveloper, I make an entity called "EntX" with an attribute "data" of Date type. JDeveloper recognize my reformulated <JDev>/system/formatinfo.xml to use "dd/MM/YYYY", I defined the controls hints correctly with my locale "portugues (Brasil)".
I had verified that the Property FMT_FORMAT_por_BR is created, different from the documentation that says FMT_FORMAT. I defined FMT_FORMAT property too with the same mask (for test).
I deployed the entity in an Session Bean, I deployed JSP's that use BC4J JSP Tags for an view default created from my entity "EntX".
When I call the JSP, my mask is the default "yyyy-MM-dd".
How can I obtain "dd/MM/yyyy" ?

Thankyou for the hint. I get it to work with
public void whatever
DateFormat simple = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm");
java.util.Date javaDate = new java.util.Date();
try
javaDate = simple.parse("01.01.2005 12:30");
} catch (ParseException e)
java.sql.Timestamp sqlDate = new java.sql.Timestamp(javaDate.getTime());
oracle.jbo.domain.Date nowDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate);
setAttributeInternal(MYDATE, nowDate);
but is there an easier and more 'beautiful' way to do this? Like using a date formatter on oracle.jbo.domain.Date instead using the SimpleDateFormat? btw. did I mention that I'm a Forms and PL/SQL programmer ;-)
