How to customize field value in a Table, which is loaded from a datasource

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework Data Binding
1

Hi,
I am currently developing an application where I am displaying a set of data from the database to a table component. I am using a BeanItemContainer and adding it to the table by calling table.setContainerDataSource() method. One of the fields, is a Date type and its displaying the complete date along with the time , something like this :
May 15,2013 12:00:00 AM
. I want to remove timing and display only the date. But I do not know how to do that.
Can anyone help on this?

Here is the code:

    final BeanItemContainer<Card> cardBeanItemContainer = new BeanItemContainer<Card>(Card.class);
    cardBeanItemContainer.addAll(cardService.findByMember(member.getId()));

    final Table tblCards=new Table();
    tblCards.setSelectable(true);
    tblCards.setWidth("95%");
    //Fill the data
    tblCards.setContainerDataSource(cardBeanItemContainer);
    tblCards.setVisibleColumns(new Object[]{"cardType","issueDate","expiryDate","status"});

Thanks in advance,
Kishor

A more descriptive title would probably get replies quicker as what you want to do is apparently to customize the presentation in a Table, not modify the container.

If I remember correctly: In Vaadin 7, you can use a Converter with Table.setConverted(propertyId, converter). In Vaadin 6, override Table.formatPropertyValue(…).
