[midPoint] Parsing Dates in Inbound Mapping

[Mencel, Matt]

So in my CSV I have a birthday field stored as a string value like so...
'20160822'.  I've created a DOB field in my custom schema of type date...

            <xsd:element name="birthDate" type="xsd:date" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="1">
                <xsd:annotation>
                    <xsd:appinfo>
                        <a:indexed>false</a:indexed>
                        <a:displayName>DOB</a:displayName>
                        <a:displayOrder>130</a:displayOrder>
                    </xsd:appinfo>
                </xsd:annotation>
            </xsd:element>

and am trying to parse the string to the date field using the following in
my mapping...which doesn't work at the moment.

<attribute>
<ref>ri:birthdate</ref>
<displayName>DOB</displayName>
<inbound>
<target>
<path>$user/extension/birthDate</path>
</target>
<expression>
           <script>
               <language>
http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/expression/language#Groovy
</language>
               <code>
                   Date.parse('yyyymmdd', birthdate)
               </code>
           </script>
       </expression>
</inbound>
</attribute>

Do I need to do the script in the user object template instead?

Thanks,
Matt
