title: display date / save date in Grails
body: <p>Is there any way to save / view date in our prefered format ? like dd/MM/yyyy instead of using simple date format everytime I save the date fields ?</p>
  
  <p>for example:
  I would like to have </p>
  
  <pre><code>class User {
   Date birthDay ; 
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the user will save the birthDay as '31/12/1988' for example and I would like to display it as that ... without format("dd/MM/yyyy") everytime I found the date (or converting string to date) for saving / updating)</p>
