Date Field in Webdynpro

Question

Hi there,
I have a attribute that is Date and have binded it with an UI field in webdynpro.
However, the format of date input in ABAP is yyyymmdd but the one used by webdynpro is something like 01/01/09. Is there a way I can change the format of the date being captured in the field to suit the format of ABAP date input?
Pls advise me!

Hi 
  I think you cant do the format of Abap in front end as showing .but you can pass the data to backend data Format as  "yyyyMMdd"  you can not shows apab format at front end side ..but its automaticaly render original format as per Web dynpro fundamental but you can save front format to abab fromat at time of data store in back end System"  as Format  string  "yyyyMMdd..using some piese of code....
                                String inputDate="1/2/2009";
          SimpleDateFormat sdfinput = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
          java.util.Date output = null;
          try {
            output = sdfinput.parse(inputDate);
              } catch (ParseException e){
            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
                      String in=sdf.format(output);
Hope you will get the answar
