The significant lines in the stack trace are:

org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException
org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.SqlDateConverter.convert(SqlDateConverter.java:117)

One of the properties in your ActionForm is apparently defined as type java.sql.Date. This is not allowed. You must define the property as a String. If you want to convert it to a date after it's been validated, that's fine, but the getXXX and SetXXX methods must work with a String object, not a Date object.
