POST and PUT don't work with Date

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
create domain class such as:
package grails01
class Person {
    String firstName
    String lastName
    Date birthday
    static constraints = {
    }
}

2.
install-plugin jaxrs
generate-resources grails01.Person, 
run-app

3.
The GET methode will produce an xml data such as:
<person id="1">
<birthday>2005-01-01 00:00:00</birthday>
<firstName>Simba</firstName>
<lastName>The Cat</lastName>
</person>

but if I send xml data using POST, it doesn't work:

<person>
<birthday>2000-07-12 00:00:00</birthday>
<firstName>Lion</firstName>
<lastName>King</lastName>
</person>

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
new entry in data base should be created
but I get following error:
Error 500: Executing action [handle] of controller 
[org.grails.jaxrs.JaxrsController] in plugin [jaxrs] caused exception: Cannot

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
jdk 1.6, grails 1.3.7, jaxrs 0.4 and 0.5, windows,macosx

Please provide any additional information below.

It works if I change the date format to:

<person>
<birthday>Jul 12, 2000 00:00:00</birthday>
<firstName>Lion</firstName>
<lastName>King</lastName>
</person>

What should I do so the xml/json data send to the server and received 
from the server use the same date format?

This is not a grails-jaxrs issue but a Grails issue. Well, not really an issue: 
you need to define a custom property editor for converting date Strings to Date 
objects. What I tried is 
http://blog.myti.it/post/441330811/custom-property-editor-for-grails and it 
works nicely.

For custom date representations during XML rendering (i.e. domain object to XML 
conversion) please refer to the Grails documentation.

Should you still see this as a bug please create a JIRA ticket for Grails 
directly.
